Despite her background in engineering and marketing, Doria Hamelryk's journey to finding fulfillment in her career was challenging. Everything changed when she relocated to Morocco for work and was introduced to Salesforce — igniting her passion for the platform and its capacity to effect positive change. She immediately began engaging with the Trailblazer Community, volunteering at local events, and expanding her network. And determined to master the technology, she focused on learning Salesforce skills.

Doria believes in the transformative power of teaching, recognizing that by sharing knowledge with others, one can become an expert oneself. First, she focused on learning and getting hands-on through Trailhead, where she honed her skills and expanded her knowledge across various Salesforce products, earning 20 Salesforce certifications (and counting). Once armed with the necessary expertise and a robust network in the Salesforce ecosystem, she opened her own consulting firm.
