WPGrandma) built her first WordPress website in 2009 for a side business, was immediately smitten, and soon began building websites for other small businesses. In 2016, after a long (did I say long?) history as an IT Business Analyst, Instructional Designer, and Project Manager, she left the corporate world to become a full time WordPress Coach and Designer. Soon after, seeing a need in the community, she decided to share her knowledge to help others by forming the WP Project Manager\u2019s Academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beth rebranded her agency in 2022 as Triad Web Advisors to focus primarily on Website Discovery and Remediation. This provides the time she needs to continue developing and providing real-life project management skills training via The WP Project Manager&#8217;s Academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beth also administers the WordPress Project Management Facebook group and contributes as an event organizer for the Triad WordPress Meetup Group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beth considers teaching her one true joy and has presented project management-related talks at various WordCamps across the country, at Venture Cafe Winston-Salem, the Triad WordPress Meetup, and has taught project management classes at Guilford Technical Community College\u2019s Small Business Center in Greensboro NC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In her spare time, what there is of it, Beth also enjoys visiting live music venues and occasionally performing locally.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Beth (a.k.a.
