[Competition] Community Ice-Breaker Challenge - Week 1️⃣

Hi all!

1. I am from Orlando, Florida. Fun fact: To fund the demolition of its old city hall, Orlando enlisted the help of Hollywood. Producer Joel Silver blew up the building for the opening scene of Lethal Weapon 3.
2. I absolutely love to read and have a long list of favorite books. One of which is The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. I have read and listened to this book multiple times. The writing style is so magical and descriptive you feel like you are part of the story.
3. I have been using Wrike since September 2016 and was the person who helped setup our structure for each team in our organization.

Hello!

1. I am currently located in Oxnard, California, also known as the strawberry capital! 🍓 and the closest city to the Channel Islands National Park.
2. I enjoy a variety of books - mostly adventure and outdoors. Currently, on the coffee table is 'Surf is Where you Find it' -Gerry Lopez
3. We launched Wrike July 2021. 

1. I'm in Boulder, Colorado, where we have over 300 days of sunshine on average per year!
2. Favorite book is tough since I work in publishing, but overall I'd say Stephen King is my favorite overall author - he gets a poor reputation since he writes horror, but I think he's a great writer.
3. I've been using Wrike for about a year and a half!

Hi all!

1. I'm located in Grants Pass, Oregon, not too far away from the Bootleg Fire, the second biggest wildfire of the year. It's extremely smoky at the moment, but so far everyone I know is still safe. 🤞  🙌
2. My favorite book is Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I remember going out at midnight to buy it when it came out and reading it in one sitting. Fantastic story, fun characters... will always have a place in my heart.
3. Since 2017, I was one of the original testers/admins for my company when we were shopping/implementing.

Alexandra Elata Good Omens is such a good book! I love how you can tell which characters came from Gaiman/Pratchett.

1. I'm from Santa Cruz, CA. Most people don't know that International Beer Day (Aug 6th) was started here. 

2. Favorite book is Outliers by Malcom Gladwell.
