- Description: I am joining the Cloud Advocate team at Microsoft!
- Author: Sarah Lean
- Tags: Career

I joined Microsoft in January 2018 as a Cloud Solution Architect and today I am embarking on a new journey within Microsoft, as a Cloud Advocate within Rick Claus's team. 

I'll be joining the great team of [Rick](https://www.twitter.com/Rickster?ref=techielass.com), [Anthony](https://twitter.com/WirelessLife?ref=techielass.com), [Orin](https://twitter.com/orinthomas?ref=techielass.com), [Phoummala](https://twitter.com/ExchangeGoddess?ref=techielass.com), [Pierre](https://twitter.com/wiredcanuck?ref=techielass.com), [Sonia](https://twitter.com/SoniaCuff?ref=techielass.com) and [Thomas](https://twitter.com/ThomasMaurer?ref=techielass.com). Our global team is focussed on empowering the "IT Pro" community.

I am so happy to say that [@TechieLass](https://twitter.com/TechieLass?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=techielass.com) has her first MS teams call with the team later today.

### Why the change?

Over the last two years since starting the [Glasgow Azure User Group](https://www.gaug.co.uk/?ref=techielass.com) being involved in the community, either through blogging, speaking, attending user group events, or conferences has become a real passion for me. I love learning from the community and I also love sharing with the community, and the Cloud Advocate role allows me to combine that passion our engineering teams interact with our customers/audience in better ways and vice versa.

I'm super excited about this change and looking forward to getting involved with my team and getting to know the wider Methods & Practices team that [Donovan Brown](https://twitter.com/DonovanBrown?ref=techielass.com) leads.

> The wait is over! I'm so excited to announce the newest member of the Methods & Practices team is Sarah Lean ([@TechieLass](https://twitter.com/TechieLass?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=techielass.com)). She will be reporting to Rick Claus ([@RicksterCDN](https://twitter.com/RicksterCDN?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=techielass.com)) helping us drive the Core Infra Operations vision as a Cloud Advocate. Welcome to the team! [#AzOps](https://twitter.com/hashtag/AzOps?src=hash&ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=techielass.com). [pic.twitter.com/CHnJ8L2Jmi](https://t.co/CHnJ8L2Jmi?ref=techielass.com)
