Senior Digital Technologist

Spent 1 year at Northern Virginia Community College, then moved on to Shepherd College for 2-1/2 years. Worked on the Web as a hobby from the time Geocities came around, through my college years. Then picked it up as a side business while working for a septic contractor. Finally discovered it as my passion and my full-time job when I started working as the webmaster at Lord Fairfax Community College. Continuously fine-tuning my skills while running the website at University of Mary Washington.

My Passions:

The Web & WordPress; my family; coffee; music

Graphic Designer

I learned the basics of print/ web design at an IT specialty high school, working from the age of 16 as a freelance graphic designer. While getting my Bachelors in Religion with a minor in Christian Counseling, I worked with multimedia design agencies to produce print and web marketing materials. My love-affair with WordPress began through trial and error — and that’s the way I’ve continued to learn. In the end, my formal education has nothing to do with my career of choice.

My Passions:

I’m driven by the desire for excellence, and don’t think it can be achieved without a teachable attitude. I’m fascinated by the connectedness of our current culture, and am constantly looking for ways to get past the noise of media to reach a target audience. I’m also passionate about great music, my husband, my hedgehog (#BowserTheHedgehog), and the reality that there should never be two spaces in-between sentences. Ever.

I pretty much always look like I'm half-laughing, half-judging. I am, btw.

Director of Digital Communications

Mostly self taught, highly inquisitive, driven to break stuff and figure out how to fix it better. Empowering web users to be brilliant since 1994. Dog mom.

I’ve got a degree in Business Administration with a minor in Management Information Systems from Southern Arkansas University and am almost finished with a Master’s of Science in Information Quality from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.

My Passions:

  • Accessibility, which to me means not only making the tool usable by everyone, but also making it available to everyone.
  • The awesome power of shared knowledge.
  • Truth.
  • Redefining success by using data to blow the doors off conventional thinking.
