How Did You Discover WordPress?<\/h3>\n

My Twitter friend Pam from Pam Ann Marketing said she wanted to meet us at WordCamp Orange County in 2013. My BFF\/Blogging Buddy Carol Stephen and I went and Pam couldn’t attend. We\u2019ve been going to WordCamps ever since. I built bridgetwillard.com in April 2015 — my first self-hosted WordPress site.<\/p>\n

How Do You Use WordPress?<\/h3>\n

I’m the Marketing Manager for GiveWP.com, the most roubst donation plugin for WordPress.<\/p>\n

How Has WordPress Impacted You?<\/h3>\n

I love WordPress because the entire trajectory of my career has been changed — forever. Before I was a secretary; now I’m a marketing manager. I wrote about it extensively here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What Do You Do When Not Working?<\/h3>\n

If I’m not working, I’m chatting with friends, hanging out with my dog Sully watching Netflix, or walking by the ocean and taking photos.<\/p>\n

What Is Your Favorite Candy?<\/h3>\n
