Organizers

WordCamp Lehigh Valley is a community-organized event put together by local WordPress users like you who volunteer their time and energy to support WordPress in the Lehigh Valley.

Taskmaster / Venue

I began building Websites in 1998. Email lists like Chicago WebWomen and Philly WebWomen were where I met my teachers, mentors, employers and friends.  From when the question was as simple as “How do I make my text blink?” I have always valued community input.

After attending WordCamp NYC in ’09 I was in love with WordPress and its people.  Since then WordCamps have not only been a source of education, they have been a place to meet people from all over the world and make connections long valued.

In my spare time also co-organize our local WordPress Meetup, serve as a chapter leader for Girl Develop It Lehigh Valley, serve on the board of a local non-profit and teach Sunday school to the sweetest bunch of 3’s & 4’s you have ever seen!

Budgetmeister / Sponsor Followup

I am a business owner of a small web design/development/hosting company, with over 30 years of experience operating in the Lehigh Valley. I love to help individual and small to medium size companies bring their dreams into reality with their identity and web presence.

The design and web industry has grown in leaps and bounds in recent years and WordPress has been a driving force for those changes. My initial interest was purely commercial as a survival tactic to stay relevant but I didn’t count on falling in love with the community behind it. I joined the LV WordPress Meetup to participate in the exchange of knowledge and ideas with a group of fantastic individuals learning and creating WordPress sites. I helped last year with the inaugural  Lehigh Valley WordCamp and attended my very first WordCamp US in Philly. What a fantastic experience!

I live a very busy life with many personal interests such as cooking, reading and the outdoors, which is where you’ll find me when I am not learning about the web, new technologies, and innovations that fascinate me.
