Hello-I'm new here. Let's connect!

Good afternoon,

I just wanted to introduce myself in this community and make connections! I live in Yorktown, VA and I think this may be the closest SNUG community for where I'm located. 

I'm a new student in the Skillsbridge RiseUp cohort that began in July 2025. We are now in Week 2 learning the basics of the platform and I'm loving it! Im so excited for the next 4 months- and looking forward to opportunities that will follow. Let's connect on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/sharonvanluynprater/ . I'd also love to hear about your journey with ServiceNow and if you have any suggestions, pro-tips, etc. that you'd like to share. Thank you! Cheers!

Hi @svlptigsa

Welcome to the ServiceNow Community and the Richmond SNUG! It’s wonderful to see new members joining the RiseUp cohort.

Here are a few suggestions to help you get the most out of your learning journey:

• Attend local SNUG meetings and community events to network with other ServiceNow practitioners and hear real‑world success stories.
• Sign up for a free personal developer instance at developer.servicenow.com to experiment with building apps and configurations outside of class.
• Explore additional Now Learning courses and hands‑on labs to deepen your understanding of platform fundamentals and best practices.
• Use this Community to ask questions, search existing discussions, and share your experiences—there’s a wealth of knowledge here.
• Keep up to date by reading the product documentation, Release Notes, and blogs on developer.servicenow.com, and listen to the ServiceNow Developer Podcast for tips.

Good luck in your RiseUp training, and don’t hesitate to reach out to the community when you need help or want to share your progress.
