Kari Sharp

Organizer Role: Foundation Friday Organizer

I am a WordPress developer concentrating on sites for small business owners. As a former small business owner myself, I can relate to their operational and marketing struggles, and I love to help them with their website needs and make sure they are getting what they want and what they need at a good price. Last year at WordCamp, I did not know anything about WordPress. After being inspired at WordCamp Chicago, I decided to pursue this as a new career and become a freelance WordPress developer. With the help of the Chicago WordPress community and some long hours using Google, I am so excited that this is becoming a real career for me, and I LOVE it!

How did you get involved in WordCamp?

I’ve attended a couple of WordCamps and really enjoy meeting all the new people and learning so many new things. This year, I am looking forward to speaking at Foundation Friday.
