Get To Know Jen
Jen Meyer is a third year Graphic and Web Design student at The Art Institute of California, Sacramento. She is also the co-president of the Graphic and Web Design Club at AI. Jen has several years of experience in information technology and project management, and spent time living overseas while serving in the U.S. Air Force. When not working on homework, or various other projects, you can find her either camping at the beach, reading a good book, or re-watching old episodes of The X-Files. Jen is excited to be part of Sacramento’s first WordCamp, and looks forward to many more opportunities to get involved with the local design community.
WordPress Q&A With Jen
Why WordPress? Why do you use it?
I’m just learning WordPress, but I like that I can turn a website over to someone and that they will be able to manage the site on their own.
What is your favorite thing/feature in WordPress?
My favorite WordPress feature is that it’s flexible. You can create any type of website from a personal blog to a network of sites and WordPress will manage the content beautifully.
Share 1-2 plugins you use often and think people need to know about.
Plugins are completely foreign to me. I haven’t gotten that far yet.
How has the community made a difference for you or influenced you?
I like that there is a local community that supports personal growth and skills refinement. The community’s camaraderie is what motivated me to get involved, but it’s the fact that there’s a place for everyone – no matter their level of expertise – that will keep me involved.
What makes Sacramento awesome? Why should people be excited to come to Sacramento for WordCamp?
Sacramento is amazing! The more I explore and learn about the community the more I’m glad I live here. The art, history, theater, music, and food are what you’d expect to find in a city like Seattle, Austin, or even New Orleans. It’s just an all around great place to live and I’m excited to be part of the local design community.
