    Bio

    With over 10 years of experience in WordPress, I am the Director of Customer Success at StellarWP, where I lead with a deep commitment to effective, non-violent communication. I work closely with nonprofits, entrepreneurs, and diverse organizations to help them build and grow on WordPress, bridging creativity and strategic guidance to drive impactful outcomes.

    As a certified yoga instructor, I integrate mindfulness into my daily life and work, fostering balanced, thoughtful interactions and a calm, focused approach to leadership. My goal is to create supportive, empowering environments where customers feel truly heard and supported in achieving their goals.

    WordPress Origin Story

    WordPress picked me up when I was down more than I can count. When I didn’t know how to start my business, WordPress was presented to me. When I faced a horrible security issue on my client’s site, my WordPress community was there to help me through. When I didn’t want to work at my 9-5 office job any longer, WordPress prepared me to accept the best job in the world. Needless to say, I’m a fan. 🙂
