What inspired or motivated you to give this talk at WordCamp?
I wanted to to help people understand JavaScript and not be so scared of it. It’s a powerful language. I jumped in head first when I started learning it and haven’t looked back since. I also want to make sure others understand the importance of clean, readable code.
How do you “create intention” in your job, career, or life?
I try to think about what makes me happy, and usually the answer is helping others, learning and experiencing new things. I strive to continue learning anything I’m interested in and then teaching it to others. I’m always reading a book or a blog on a language or new framework or just some new development idea/technique. I also love going to new places and meeting people. I’ve actually set a goal for myself to go to a new place whether in or out of the states each year. (2017 is the year of Costa Rica)
If you were a WordPress Plugin, what Plugin would you be and why?
I would probably be the WP Rest API plugin. Mostly because I use it often and I love how flexible and powerful it is.
If you were not doing your current job, what profession would you be in and why?
I would either be a Movie Critic or a Marine Biologist. (I know very different fields)
What professional and/or research resource(s) can’t you live without?
I need scotch.io and webdesignerdepot.com. I also can’t live without Amazon to buy all the books I need.
