    Bio

    I tame technology for entrepreneurs who are overwhelmed and tired of trying to figure it out by themselves. Online Business Manager, Website & Graphic Designer, specializing in WordPress MultiSite (started the first FB group), lover of technology and obsessed with purple things.

    I was an co-organizer for the WordPress Kansas City Meetup group and WordCampKC 2014-2020. Was the Lead Organizer for WordCamp Kansas City 2019.

    Interests

    WordPress, Multisite, Tech, website and graphic design, Shark Tank, anything purple, Colorado lover.

    WordPress Origin Story

    I created my first WP.com site for my mom in July 2007 but didn’t do my first WP.org install till 2009 after attempting it before, but it finally clicked this time.
