Welcome Xenda!
This week we welcomed our new Community Manager, Xenda Amici! She’s joining the team in Lisbon, and will be working to make our community forums and other resources great!
Here’s a bit about Xenda:
👋 Hey folks,
I’m Xenda, and I’m so excited to join the all-star PagerDuty Community team! ⭐Fun fact about my name: Xenda means “path” in Basque language, while my last name Amici translates to friends in Italian.
I'm an enthusiast of bonding with people. For me, it's all about exchanging experiences and learning from each other. I’m here to help our dev community shine and thrive and make it a go-to space to share, learn and... have a bit of fun! If you haven’t so, join me at https://community.pagerduty.com/forum/ and say hi. Let’s connect!
Before joining PagerDuty, I was a Community Manager at the AI translation start-up, worked in Customer Relationship Management and was also a producer and copywriter for a news website, TV and radio host in Brazil.
I love singing, running, cycling and staying up to date to all things music, movies and series. I'm from Brazil, living in Lisbon for 6 years. I've lived in Brooklyn, Washington DC and on cruise ships for some time (years at sea count twice lol).
Find us in person!
