\nI’m a Happiness Engineer for Automattic, on the Jetpack team. I’m a mom of three kids under five, a photographer, and a nature lover. Before joining Automattic, I was a university biology lecturer for almost a decade, so I love to teach and help people learn new things. Speaking at WordCamps gives me my teaching fix.<\/p>\n

Why Do You Use WordPress?<\/strong>
\nBecause it is beautiful, it is intuitive, and the community is second-to-none.<\/p>\n

When and How Did You Start Using WordPress?<\/strong>
\nI’ve been using WordPress for my Photography sites for about ten years, because nothing else compares.<\/p>\n

What Tips or Resources would you recommend to a new WordPress User?<\/strong>
\nDon’t hesitate to get in touch with people for help. Utilize the WordPress.org forums, Facebook groups, and WordPress.com Happiness Engineers. Most folks who use WordPress *really love WordPress*, and are eager to help out when someone needs a hand. <\/p>\n

What do you like most about WordCamps?<\/strong>
\nIt is fun to see people in 3D and make connections with folks.<\/p>\n
