1) Why do you like using WordPress?
It’s so easy to use! I was on a different platform before, and moving to WP was one of the best things I ever did for my business.

2) Why did you decide to speak at WordCamp Ottawa?
I want to share with other entrepreneurs – non-coders – all the awesomeness you can achieve with WordPress.

3) What is the one thing you want people to walk away with from your talk?
You can do ANYTHING with your website, often for free (or almost free). Google is your best friend, second only to your imagination.

4) What is your favourite WordPress plugin or theme? Why?
Visual Form Builder Pro – Custom forms are the best thing since sliced bread! They are so versatile, I use them for many different things, on several websites.
