Hello Wrike Wrikers!

🌍 Where I’m from: Fargo, North Dakota (I work remotely, based out of Fargo, eh?).
💼 What I do: I'm a Strategic Marketing Manager - Project Management & Localization. I'm also the Wrike Admin and Power User for the Strategic Marketing Department at Molex, a subsidiary of Koch Industries. I support roughly 85 people on our core team and more than 30 collaborators across projects. I use Wrike for project intake, workflow standardization, reporting, templates, and training our users.
🎉Fun fact: I’ve recently picked up puzzling as a hobby. Apparently I’ve joined the ranks of “old people hobbies”—I finish a new jigsaw every 7–10 days!
I’m looking forward to learning from the group and sharing any admin tips or templates that have worked well for our team. I'm most interested in setting up a governance space. Feel free to reach out if you want to swap best practices or troubleshooting ideas.
