Katie Richards has spent almost a decade working in the broader WordPress community. Although she is not a developer, Katie has spent many years connected to the WordPress community and, as a result, cares deeply about the builders of the Web and the struggles, challenges, successes, and big wins associated with improving the internet one change at a time. She admits she is a type-A person who enjoys creating systems and structure and now uses those skills for the good of the open web.

Katie can be found procrasti-cleaning when she needs a moment to get her thoughts in order. She is a Midwesterner-for-life; April through October fully make up for the brutal winters. She’d like to say she spends her free time reading self-improving non-fiction but she really loves a good book with a happy ending. She has 3 young boys so a lot of her time involves running after them and hitting up every playground in a 1 mile radius from her house.
