Born in Los Angeles but moved to Austin, Texas in 2009. I'm passionate about WordPress, technology, innovation, and service that makes life and doing business easier. As a Partner Operations Manager for WP Engine, I strive to build relationships and support our product mission while moving our clients business forward.

I was first introduced to WordPress 2.0 "Duke" in 2005. I had to redesign a website for a performance venue I managed in Los Angeles and I remember back in the day when we had to apply for a domain name trough ICANN. All I knew was there was an easy way to get started building a site that didn't require me to code! I was familiar with HTML and CSS because of (I'm dating myself) custom MySpace profiles. I use to email blast in HTML and make static pages but didn't know how people published them as a website. Fast forward, I used a company that was super cheap and gave me simple tools to manage the site online, and I was hooked and now I work for WP Engine advocating for WordPress and all things internet!
