Kids Session Spotlight: Jenifer De La Garza

Jenifer De La Garza

My name is Jenifer De La Garza. I am one of two original co-founders of the Albuquerque WordPress Meetup Group and one of two primary organizers of Albuquerque’s first WordCamp in 2011. I opened my virtual assistance company, Administrative Support Group, in 2006. I’ve been working on WordPress websites for my clients since 2008, when I started by designing my own business website using WordPress.

I love children; I have six of my own. I’m looking forward to sharing my knowledge at the WordPress for Kids session at WordCamp 2013.

If you didn’t know there was WordPress for kids, share this post to tell everyone about it!
