Dear Udemy Instructors,

Well, the time has come! After over three incredible yearsĀ (and several days in Portugal with some of you),Ā this will be my last week as your Community Manager. It feels bittersweet to say goodbye, but Iā€™ve been so lucky to work alongside such a passionate, creative, and letā€™s be honestā€”sometimes *very* vocalā€”group of instructors! :)

Your feedback (the good, the bad, and the brutally honest) has shaped this community and Udemy into what they are today, and Iā€™ve truly loved watching all of you grow and inspire learners around the world. Whether it was discussing GenAI-related topics that made me do a double-take or working through platform hiccups, this community has been a constant source of inspiration.

While I wonā€™t be here in the trenches with you anymore, Iā€™ll still be cheering you on, watching from the sidelines as you continue to crush it. I canā€™t wait to see all the incredible things youā€™ll do next!

You are in great hands with Marina, Ryan, Leonor, Eliana, Bessy, Asae & Carolina. Thank you for making these past few years unforgettable. Iā€™ll miss the conversations, the debates, and everything in between. Now go out there and keep being the rockstars that you are!

Thank you again!Ā Ā 

Chrystie

    "Oh no!" That's really the first thing I could think of when I read this announcement.

    Thank you @Chrystie for everything.

    Being the front person to take all the feedback from instructors in the recent years, I always thought that had it been me, I wouldn't be able to cope with it.

    But you've been both kind, compassionate and patient with us while still remaining extremely professional and doing your job, representing Udemy.

    That's a tough job.

    I'll definitely miss you. I'm sure many will as well.

    Best of luck to you, from the bottom of my heart.
