Welcome to the premiere episode of Admins of Tomorrow.  While most Salesforce podcasts you find are all about the product suite and technical solutioning, we want to hear from the people who make Salesforce special. We want to hear their stories and insights about what it means to be an admin.

This week, we meet with Hayley Tuller, Salesforce Architect & Co-Founder of Navigators. We had the pleasure to discuss her experience of discovering supportive organizations like Amplify, Salesforce Military, and Merivis, and how these communities played pivotal roles in her Salesforce journey. Haley explains how resources like these can help you avoid common pitfalls and accelerate your learning within the ecosystem.

Hayley Tuller is one of the co-founders of Navigators, a Salesforce service delivery Partner specializing in digital transformation for nonprofits, higher education, and public sector entities.  As the Head of Delivery, she supervises Navigator’s Salesforce implementation and development services, trains aspiring Salesforce professionals, and directs delivery and training policy.  

Salesforce is her second career; Hayley retired from the US Navy in 2012 after 20 years of service, including multiple combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan where she served as a cryptologist and linguist. Hayley also holds a Bachelor of Arts with a major in Sociology from the University of North Florida, where she graduated summa cum laude as a proud non-traditional veteran student courtesy the Montgomery GI Bill.

For over 7 years, she has been an active leader in the Salesforce community, speaking at multiple community and Salesforce events, including Dreamforce, TrailheadDX, and Midwest Dreamin’.  She is the co-leader and founder of the Salesforce Jacksonville Nonprofit User Group, a member of the founding team behind the Salesforce community conference Nonprofit Dreamin’, an occasional blogger and office hours leader with Military Trailblazers (formally Vetforce), and volunteers as a coach with the Merivis Foundation, helping vets and military spouses launch Salesforce careers.  You can find Hayley on Twitter at @hayleytuller.
