    Bio

    Atlanta WordPress Leadership and Community Developer
    I have been supporting WordPress people and contributing to the community locally, regionally, and nationally for more than a decade.

    My firm Kathy Drewien & Company, is a rescue shelter for abandoned, broken, ugly, orphaned, and non-productive websites. I am an attentive listener, kind, generous, and outspoken.

    Life beyond WordPress includes delighting in my role as Nana, completing 2000-piece jigsaw puzzles, and expanding my Le Creuset cookware collection.

    Connect on Twitter, LinkedIn, and Slack channels.

    Interests

    speaker | trainer | cheese slave | patient non-geeky teacher | WordPress fanatic | sweet tea lover | believes success is teamwork | loves to laugh | enjoys good eating

    WordPress Origin Story

    My love for the internet began in 1994 when I built a website using Hotdog by Sausage Software to launch and grow my real estate business. When the real estate market crashed in 2008 I ventured into a new career as a WordPress developer, coach, and trainer. Still learning, and still in love.
