Building websites has been a way for me to express myself and to reach other people since the mid 90’s.
And that is what WordPress is to me, a tool that helps people create their own space where they can express themselves freely, a tool to help people grow. It is also why open source, the four freedoms, and web accessibility is important to me.
I am a theme nerd who enjoys every aspect of theme development because I can be creative with the design and provide structure with code.
As a WordPress Core contributor my focuses are accessibility and themes.
Before this I worked with refugees at a government agency for 18 years. Besides coding I enjoy cross stitching and painting. I am a gamer, so even outside work I spend a lot of time at the computer. I enjoy country music and hiphop, and watching adventure and sci fi movies.
In May the team prepared for WordPress 6.6. We have tested the data views feature and continue to help polish the user interface to improve the usability and accessibility of the editor. In mid June, Andrea and Carolina plan to attend WordCamp Europe 2024 in Torino, Italy. We hope to see you there! Our monthly […]
