What do you enjoy most about working in WordPress?

When it comes to the actual software itself, I love the the incredible flexibility and options for handling a websites needs via plugins/themes, as well as the incredible standardization. From the backend, if you’ve seen one WordPress site, you’ve mostly seen them all, and that provides a consistent and quality customer experience. As a whole, I truly enjoy the amazing WordPress community!

What do you love most about your Post Status membership?

Post Status gives me the opportunity to network with so many amazing human beings. I had an incredible time at WCUS this year where I was able to finally put a lot of faces to names. The first thing I did when I got home was join Post Status!

What business/web/WordPress advice do you have for others in our industry?

Collaborate. Don’t be afraid to work together! We need to see more partnerships in the WordPress space so we can all work together to provide the ultimate win: customer success.
