about

From Newsroom Production to WordPress Operations

I started in online publishing, where deadlines, content systems, and daily production shaped how I think about the web. That work moved through digital publishing, real estate, consumer products, interactive development, marketing, and graphic design before it became WordPress development and web operations.

That background shapes how I work today: understand the content, make the experience clear, and build something people can keep using. I care about the website visitors see and the systems the team uses behind it.
