WPCoffeeTalk episode with Maryann Reissig

WPCoffeeTalk Podcast Episode – That’s Me!

A few months ago, I was a guest on my friend, Michelle’s, podcast. We talked about our experiences in the WordPress Community here in Rochester, as well as my experience with WPCampus, a community for and by folks who work with WordPress in Higher Ed. I’m so honored that Michelle asked me to on her show, I’ve been a little scared to put this out there because, well, it’s scary! But here it is, and I’m so happy to be part of these communities, where I’ve learned more than I ever though I would and has put me on a path to make the world a more accessible place! (#a11y).

Check out the podcast, send some love to Michelle, too! Tip your barista, why don’t ya??
