Bio: 

I currently work with the Linux Foundation as their Certification Community Architect and am responsible for supporting the Certification team’s efforts in building and maintaining exams and related documentation for exam products in the Linux Foundation’s certification portfolio.

In 2020 I became a member of the CWG Community Health Team, and have completed the Code of Conduct contact training offered through the CWG. I have served on the Conflict Resolution team since 2024.

I am a graduate of DrupalEasy.

Other Gems and Oddities include but aren't limited to:
• I am the youngest of five sisters and have survived, proving I am either good at communicating or at talking myself out of deadly situations.
• I can spell the word diarrhea without the aid of spellcheck, but hopefully in tech this will be an underutilized skill.
