Welcome Wednesday: Hello! My name is....

[#1]

Happy Wednesday Everyone!

I’m finally getting settled into the new place, and I thought this was a great time to do some introductions again, since there are a number of new faces in the Community!

Let’s keep things simple:

• What’s your name?

• Where are you from?

• What do you enjoy doing outside of work (and the Atlassian Community)?

I’ll kick things off:
I’m Jimmy! I now live in a small town called Mount Brydges just outside of London, Ontario, Canada (which is where I grew up). I love playing with my kids, growing vegetables in my garden and streaming video games for charity.

Alright, who’s next? Feel free to share in the comments below!

Have a great rest of the week!

[Amanda Barber]

👋 Hello, Community! My name is Amanda and I live just outside of Milwaukee, Wisconsin in the U.S. Outside of work, I enjoy being active and running, spending time with my 2 kids and husband (and dog and cat!), traveling, and reading. I also love musicals and music - and thankfully, my kiddos enjoy them with me! My kids keep me busy with many activities - especially in the summer. 

Here's a pic of us from last spring break enjoying Hawaiian food during a quick spring break trip to Chicago, Illinois. 

[Tomislav Tobijas]

Hi hi everyone,

My name is Tomislav (short or Eng. version is Tom/Tommy) and I'm originally from Osijek, Croatia and now I'm located next to Zagreb, Croatia (recently moved as well 🚚). Apart from work, I enjoy playing badminton, building Lego or gaming. Recently we've been throwing some backyard/barbecue parties so I might just add that to a list as well 😄

[Teodora V]

Hi everyone,

Teodora here :)

I am from Sofia, Bulgaria; I was born and still live here, but I have exponentially growing plans to move outside of the capital city at some point.

My free time is mostly filled with active life, as I am a massive gym rat, and I adore hiking, biking, and almost anything that includes movement in fresh air. When I am not outside, I nerd out on physiology and nutrition knowledge, spiced up with some Atlassian courses. 

[Amanda Parrotta]

Welcome! 

[Trudy Claspill]

Hello Community!

My name is Trudy and I live in Portland, Oregon in the U.S.

Outside of work my primary interest is taking and teaching ballet classes. I had aspirations to be a professional dancer when I started college but realized I would rather enjoy it as a hobby than depend on it to pay the rent. I also am a voracious reader of books.

[Mark Higgins]

Hi, I'm Mark Higgins, I'm originally from the UK, but came out to Australian with my parents as a 'Ten Pound Pom' and have lived in Sydney ever since (1966). I enjoy red wine, bike riding and walking my furry friends.

Cheers

[Monika Rani]

I am Monika Rani. I am originally from India but shifted to Singapore 4 months ago. I love learning new things about technology, jogging outside, playing with my kids, and reading books.

[Andy Gladstone]

I'm Andy! I live in Far Rockaway, NY with my wife of almost 25 years and five children, two of whom are at school and no longer 'live' at home. I enjoy reading, writing and cycling when I'm not working, spending time with my family or here on the community. I think about my bike more than I ride it, and need to change that!

[Summer_Hogan]

Hi everyone, I'm Summer Hogan and I live in Gilbert, Arizona, USA. Gilbert is a suburb of Phoenix. I love travelling, going to concerts and doing puzzles. I just got back from a 13 day trip that started in Anchorage, proceeded on a cruise ship across Alaska and then to Vancouver and Victoria, Canada. These were all new places for me and it was amazing! I posted some pics of the glaciers in this post, if you are interested.
