Hello! My name is Heidi and I am in love with all things Scrum-related. I recently obtained my Professional Scrum Master (PSM-I) certification from Scrum.org, where I learned how to have an Agile mindset. Throughout the course I learned the skills (remove impediments, empower employees, and self managing) necessary to become a contributing and effective member for the next team that I join!Through 5+ year of managerial experience, I have refined my versatile managerial style (I know when to coach, teach, and facilitate), my soft skills (big picture thinker, leadership, and communication) - I'm pretty much like a Bard from D&D, I even play accordion to boot. Why Agile Scrum? I love being a driving force of improvement and efficiency. I have accomplished a lot in my time as a manager and I feel that it's only natural to want to try something new and to challenge oneself to become their best self. Along the way I have had some great mentors and teachers who instilled in me a sense of growth, both personal and professional, and provided me with the tools and inspiration for constant improvement - so that's what I'm doing. They always say to end these things with a quote, so: “The only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work, and the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking, and don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it." -- Steve Jobs
