Homeschooler to Hero

What This Session Is About:

You love WordPress and want to do it all the time, but you can’t code your way out of a paper bag? We’re not all super psycho awesome coders, and we don’t HAVE to be. But just because the idea of database hacking makes your blood run cold doesn’t mean you can never have a successful career in WordPress. Mika was a banking software tech with a fansite. Today she is a support master for a multisite and hosting company because she had one skill: She could explain what they saw to other people. That’s it! That one skill landed her careers in WordPress Support, and while she don’t write the brand new features like the media uploader, she is an integral part of WordPress development.
