Year in Review 2025
If I could describe 2025 in one word, I would say GROWTH. I had a lot of fabulous learning opportunities this year, both professionally & personally.
From a professional standpoint, I grew as a Salesforce Administrator with another year of Salesforce Health Cloud-specific work experience. My employer has the Salesforce Signature Success support plan, which has the benefit of free Trailhead Academy courses. I tried to take as many courses as I could as not sure employer will renew to that support level next renewal cycle. My course accomplishments in 2025 are as follows:
- I started off strong in March with SDC101: Discover Salesforce Data Cloud Fundamentals
- In May, ARC101: Design & Build Integrated Solutions
- In June, OMS335: Design & Administer an OmniStudio Solution
- In October, ARC201: Build Data Architect Expertise
- Another one at end of October, IND320: Administer Health Cloud Solutions
- In November, DEX450: Build Applications Programmically on the Salesforce Platform
- In December, OMS435: Build Guided Experiences with OmniStudio
All fabulous courses that I am grateful to have had an opportunity to attend.
On a personal level, I experienced significant growth by moving from Virginia back to California. I sold, donated, or threw away nearly everything I owned to start fresh. In the end, I managed to reduce my belongings to just two suitcases and a few boxes. The entire process took several months, as I needed to prepare for the move and remodel my new home to make it ready for living. I have officially been in my new home for only two months now, and I am grateful to be back.
