About Beth

I built my first WordPress website in 2009 for a side business, was immediately smitten, and soon began building websites for other small businesses. In 2016, after a long history in software development as an IT Business Analyst, Instructional Designer, and Project Manager, I left the corporate world to become a full time WordPress Coach and Designer, and now I enjoy providing real-life project management skills training for WordPress practitioners (designers, developers, consultants, project managers, and agencies) through my company, WP Roadmaps and Coaching.

I am the creator of The WP Project Manager’s Academy and The Complete Project Management Roadmap for WordPress program (currently in revision). I also administer the WordPress Project Management Facebook group and serve as an organizer for the Triad WordPress Meetup Group where I have hosted several “WordPress happiness bar” (help desk) events.

I enjoy teaching and have presented talks at various WordCamps across the country, at Venture Cafe Winston-Salem, the Triad WordPress Meetup, and I have taught project management classes at Guilford Technical Community College’s Small Business Center in Greensboro NC.

In my spare time, what there is of it, I also enjoy singing in my church choir, visiting live music venues, and occasionally acting and singing in local theater productions.

Most of my personal satisfaction comes from helping others and that's why I created the FREE WP Project Manager's Academy and the (also free) WordPress Project Management 101 Roadmap.
