    I'm a graphic designer and I teach WordPress in a way that incorporates SEO, my background in digital marketing, social media as well as my artistic and design strategies. Teaching since 2009. My clients are typically small business owners and that's great because as a driven entrepreneur myself, we speak the same language. I share all the goodies I've learned over the years as well as teach you what you need to know about WordPress. I have startup, corporate, association and small business experience. IMPORTANT - When getting in touch Please give me an idea of where you need help. Plugins, installation, navigating a theme, getting started, etc. If there is a website you need help with, please provide URL.

    Absolutely Amazing!!! She was very helpful and provided great information and knowledge. If she did not know the answer directly, she would provide resources and assistance that helped during the session to resolve the question and resources for future questions. I would definitely recommend her and also use her services again.
