    Bio

    What drives me? The desire to make a difference each and every day, however small! Whatever I do, I do with passion.

    My career has spanned a wide range of environments, but the focus of my work has always been creating environments in which individuals and/or organizations can grow and change, and making connections – between people and to information. Essentially, I am a facilitator. I have also been called a ‘network weaver’, an identity I would love to inhabit ever more fully.

    I love living rurally, surrounded by nature, enjoy kayaking, hiking and just soaking up the ‘noisy’ peace!

    Interests

    the natural world, hiking, kayaking, reading, theatre, writing, poetry, creative dabbling of many kinds

    WordPress Origin Story

    Back in the day, I got dragged into creating sites in Dreamweaver when my husband and partner first started dabbling. So as his focus shifted to WordPress, inevitably I got pulled into that too. I’ve had a number of blog sites since 2009, initially as an unobtrusive way to update friends and family following our emigration from the UK to Canada. I’ve also managed and written for past employers’ sites. I’m more of a content creator than a developer, but my husband (the expert) frequently tells me I know more than I think! Now that I support his freelance business, I’m enjoying getting more involved personally in the WordPress community.
