I shared the welcome doc and invited Maya to all the relevant program meetings I could find. Also started an A6 Slack channel to coordinate with people ops.

Also sent an invitation to Figma to her email - not sure if we need someone else to approve it

Scheduled three 30 min check-ins w/ Maya while Mike is out! I'll answer her questions, introduce her to the product, and share research.

mayacarrolluxa6 commented 4 weeks ago

@mengA6 @sarahknoppA6 I now have access to Zenhub and GA4. The only remaining issue is making sure I can view VA calendar events for the Benefits portfolio. Do you have any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this? Thanks!

sarahknoppA6 commented 4 weeks ago

@mayacarrolluxa6 @mengA6 I'm curious if this is something Mike can help with- I do not know if I have all those calendar events and where I might be able to see them.

mengA6 commented 3 weeks ago

I have this ask to Naomi for the Weekly Design Sync and will keep an eye out for any other OCTO events.

mayacarrolluxa6 commented 3 weeks ago

I have onboarded.
