Hey there!

Welcome to my Excel for Beginners blog! I'm Lindsay, mother to my beautiful son, wife to my amazing husband, and cheerleader to my adult-aged stepdaughters. I'm here to empower individuals who may not have had the opportunity to gain hands-on experience with Microsoft Excel through traditional means. Whether you're a stay-at-home mom seeking to expand your skillset, someone deterred by the high costs of university education, or simply tired of the overwhelming, and often spammy advertising, tactics employed by online companies, you've come to the right place.

With nearly 20 years of experience working in various office settings, I've become intimately familiar with the power and versatility of Microsoft Excel. Throughout my career, I've relied on this incredible tool to organize data, analyze information, create budgets, and streamline workflows. I've used Excel for everything from creating budgets to tracking specifics, analyzing data, creating games, and other fun things (I bet you didn't know that Excel could be fun)! This extensive background enables me to share my knowledge and expertise through my blog posts.

But it's not just my professional experience that drives me—it is my genuine passion for helping others acquire knowledge. Everyone should have access to educational resources that can enhance their lives, regardless of their circumstances or background. I aim to break down the barriers that often prevent individuals from accessing valuable Excel training and provide a friendly and approachable learning environment for beginners.

That's why I started this blog; to help people of all ages and backgrounds, learn the basics to enrich, empower, and hopefully simplify their lives. I find it incredibly rewarding to see the sheer joy when someone learns a new Excel function, discovers a new way to organize their data, or learns a new skill that will help transform their career and their life.

So stay tuned as I share some basic ways to use Excel, tips and tricks, as well as answering common questions that beginners have about the program. So whether you're trying to get a job, or a promotion, develop your own personal budget, organize your schedule, create PLR templates (to sell), or create a word search for your child, you're in the right place. Let's dive into the world of Excel together!
