Tiffany Spencer is on a mission to enable job seekers to find high-paying technology careers and to help organizations thrive in the Salesforce ecosystem. Her interest in technology began when she decided to forgo cheerleading camp for computer camp and learned how to take apart a computer.

After graduating with a degree in Computer Information Systems and entering the workforce, Tiffany was focused solely on producing quality work. But as an African-American woman in technology, she quickly experienced many challenges. Tiffany credits her former manager Rita — the “most technical person of color” she had exposure to — with giving her the opportunity to advance her career in the tech industry. She began as an admin for a small land development company and after a week of training, became known as the Salesforce expert of her organization. While this job didn’t mention Salesforce in the job description, her chance encounter with the Salesforce Platform would later shape her entire career. As Tiffany began learning more about Salesforce technology, she wanted to share with others so they could advance in their careers as well.
