Hello everyone!
Can you almost feel it? Are you happy for no reason? We know what it is!
The Summit is only a few weeks away and we are SO excited to meet you all. But first, we wanted to say a virtual "hello" so you can get to know us a little bit more. I'll kick off!
(Attendees: If you haven't already, please post your introduction on this thread.)

Finally it's almost Summit time!!
Hello @JuanCh and @AlexVee I'm looking forward to meeting you!
Hi @TraciC I can't wait to see you again! Now in San Francisco!
Juan your words almost describe how I'm feeling right now. The only missing part it's that I'm going crazy and dreaming with some colder weather! It's officially winter in Rio, but the summer heat has arrived!

Hello to all. Would love to finally meet some of the faces I keep seeing on the Hangouts especially @JuanCh
@AlexVee I'm actually on a plane to NYC right now! Bummed that Traci is going to be away but wouldn't mind saying hi to you if you're there!
Big wave to all based in Singapore, my home country, didn't know we had so many LG Googlers there

Team and Role: Local Guides - Community Manager (currently focusing on feedback gathering)
Fun Fact: Apart from loving trains (the photo is from the Lucerne Transport Museum), I have such a common name that every time I visited the US, the system flagged me and I had to undergo a secondary screening process. But I can tell you that I'm a nice normal person 🙂
