Meet Peggy Parchert, our November Member Spotlight! π

Allow me to introduce you to Community Champion and our November Member Spotlight, @Peggy Parchert!
Hailing from Illinois, Peggy is an Exam Development Manager at Global Information Assurance Certification (GIAC). She first learned about Smartsheet in July 2016, however after she attended ENGAGE in 2018, Smartsheetβs annual customer conference, she says sheβs been βhooked ever since.βΒ Β
Peggy initially started using Community to help solve problems she encountered. Soon, she started to gain enough confidence in her Smartsheet knowledge to contribute solutions back to others, making her a force of awesome in the Community Champions program.Β
βI still learn things daily from Community and feel very fortunate to be a part of this amazing group of like-minded individuals. Iβve learned so much by reading posts and the solutions that were built. I've had the opportunity to meet several Smartsheet Overachievers and other Champions in person. Their passion is contagious and drives me to continue to challenge myself to learn more.β
A recent project she worked on with her coworkers involved utilizing the Smartsheet API feature to assist with the maintenance and updating of data, which was previously done completely manually. Additionally, metrics have now been made available to share consistently with stakeholders via reports and dashboards. βRounding out my list of favorite features: Formulas, Data Shuttle, reports, and forms,β Peggy says.
When Peggy isnβt helping others and creating solutions, sheβs βtreasure huntingβ at flea markets and estate sales. Her latest and biggest project to date was refurbishing a 1940s Bunting metal glider (see photo above). βI found it at a local barn sale in 2021,β Peggy says. βWhat I thought would be a quick project turned into something much more, but it was totally worth the time spent!β
Thank you Peggy for all that you do!

What a beautiful find and great job refurbishing, @Peggy Parchert Enjoyed learning this about you and loved seeing the pictures of how the project progressed. I have a few of these 'projects' in my garage waiting for me and you've inspired me to make the time.

And I loved seeing the Bunting metal glider coming back to life through the photos. It must have taken so much work and time, but the gorgeous final product was indeed worth it!

Congrats on making it as our member spotlight for the month of November, @Peggy Parchert! I really enjoy seeing your beautiful refurnishing photos, makes me want to go antiquing very badly. My wife is huge into furniture restoration and has her eyes set on reupholstering one of our armchairs that is in desperate need of some love.
