With six years of open-source community involvement behind me, I’ve had the opportunity to become actively involved in both the Drupal, Accessibilty, and WordPress communities: working to lower the barrier to entry in tech though my leadership of first-time contributor workshops at the local and regional level.
My ongoing experience as a hospice nurse keeps me in touch with the challenges faced by many end-users. In my continued efforts to make a difference, I help organize A11yTalks, an online meetup where we invite folks on every month to talk about all things accessibility - one of the core components of building an inclusive web.
I am a graduate of DrupalEasy. View my profile here.
Other Gems and Oddities include but aren't limited to:
-
I am the youngest of five sisters and have survived, proving I am either good at communicating or at talking myself out of deadly situations.
-
I am a mycology aficionado who geocaches in the woods.
-
I can spell the word diarrhea without the aid of spellcheck, but hopefully in tech this will be an under utilized skill.
