Bio

I’m a Developer Relations Wrangler with Automattic

I have worked in and around the WordPress community since 2007. I’ve also spoken at WordCamps in India, New York City, Boston, and Chicago. I had the honor of helping to organize the first WordCamp Boston in 2010. In my spare time, you’ll often find me listening to audiobooks while knitting. I love to travel with my family and have often spent many weeks throughout the year visiting different places.

Interests

Developer Relations, Project Management, Process Management, Agile Methodologies, Continuous Improvement, Front End Development, Parent/Child Themes, Knitting, RV Travel

WordPress Origin Story

In 2007 I decided, on a whim to teach myself to knit despite not knowing one single knitter. Since this was during the rise of the personal blog I quickly determined that I should hop on the bandwagon. It didn’t take long for me to find that I was a much better website manager than a content creator. Fast forward to 2010, having been a speaker at both WordCamp NYC 2009 and WordCamp Boston I was offered the opportunity to join the StudioPress team as a member of the support team. More than 10 years later I’m still passionate about WordPress OSS and developing Websites the WordPress way.
