Hi, I’m Nicole!

I’m a project-focused Web Professional with 14+ years of experience in quality assurance, web development, and marketing. Skilled at leading cross-functional teams, identifying roadblocks before they impact delivery, and driving projects to completion.

About 10 years ago I switched to the WordPress platform and found a new home in the WordPress community. Currently I am lead quality assurance for development teams at InMotion Hosting and BoldGrid.

I have spoken at 4 WordCamps, including WCUS 2018, on teaching elementary school children to code. Prior to the pandemic, I volunteered doing Hour of Code tutorials with 3rd – 5th graders. In 2019 I was the lead organizer for WordCamp Grand Rapids, after being a co-organizer for the 2018 camp.
