Merrill Matheson, MFA, MSIS's Linkedin Analytics

Human capital is a company's greatest asset. I gain great fulfillment in opportunities to train, serve, and empower colleagues, clients, and stakeholders. In 2022, I made a career change from arts management to tech. I returned to school and earned an MS in Information Systems. I decided to specialize as a Salesforce Administrator, because I enjoyed using customer relationship management (CRM) software in other positions and industries I've held. Most notably, I'm an expert in the Theatre Manager CRM. I have a bachelor's in ballroom dance and theatre and pursued acting for almost a decade, through which I honed many transferable skills, including collaboration, discipline, knowing my audience, presenting in from of anyone, being results oriented, and deadline driven (“the show must go on”). Highlights of my background include earning the rank of Eagle Scout, teaching and administration in a charter school (1 yr), leading youth and senior summer camps (3 yrs), working in an executive level office for the City of Seattle (graduate practicum for 6 months), managing 35+ staff in assisted living and memory care (18 months), and administration and fundraising for professional theaters (5 years).
