Who are you? (biography/background)
I started my career in technology in 2005 and since then I have dedicated myself to staying up to date on the latest information technology industry trends. Throughout my career, I have developed a keen interest in open source technologies, particularly Drupal and WordPress.
Throughout the years, I’ve leveraged my expertise in technology, design, and development to lead projects and configure custom solutions that solve challenging problems. I have managed hundreds of successful projects for clients ranging from small businesses.
I believe strongly in the power of collaboration and sharing. This is why I am heavily involved in the open-source community, leading development teams and contributing to projects.
My goal is to use my expertise and knowledge to help organizations become more successful, productive, and secure.
I strongly believe in creating an inclusive and equitable organizational culture where diversity, respect, and collaboration are celebrated. Everyone should have a seat at the table and a voice that is heard regardless of race, gender, age, religion, socioeconomic status, educational background, or any other attribute. In addition, I believe strongly in the importance of taking a stand against discrimination, bigotry, and prejudice. It is absolutely essential that we create a supportive and respectful environment in all facets of corporate and organizational life.
Why are you running for a board seat at the Drupal Association? (mission/motivation)
I am running for a board seat at the Drupal Association because I am passionate about advocating for diversity, inclusion, and equity in the realm of open source technology. As a member of a traditionally underrepresented group, I recognize the importance of speaking up and representing different demographics, backgrounds, and perspectives in all aspects of open source building. I believe that software should be crafted with a human touch, especially in terms of considering the full range of voices and life experiences users bring to their engagement with Drupal. I am keen to leverage my experience in the industry, working with organizations of various sizes, to foster equal opportunities for all and create a more diverse and equitable community. My presence on the board will be a testament to the value of the input of those who were traditionally overlooked in the past.
Why should members vote for you? (qualifications)
I am a dedicated professional committed to the success of the Drupal Association and the Drupal project. My experience in technology, software, hardware, telecommunications, public speaking and cloud computing gives me a broad understanding of the complex matters that the Drupal Association faces on a daily basis.
My commitment to the success of the Drupal Association and the Drupal Project is unwavering and my dedication to the work of the board is unparalleled.
