Jenna Redfield is an INCREDIBLE Notion Ambassador that has a private FB Group free to join and regularly does YT vids and I have never met a Notion Ambassador more interactive with the members of their community.. Her speciality is helping others with ADHD and productivity issues and does a ton of live in depth tutorials. She’s so slept on in comparison to the big names who don’t respond to any bodies questions re: their personal tutorials they put together and charged $50+ for *cough* Thomas Frank *cough*
