TEDx

Working with TEDxWabashCollege has truly been a blessing.

I've had the chance to test my leadership and management skills with a group of 30 students across Wabash College's campus, and also learn more about Event Planning and Marketing.

Our event has seen much success over it's four years, growing from 100 attendees to over 350 attendees, and selling out Wabash College's largest event venue.

We've also seen much professional growth, as our NPS Score has reached a new high of 78 over our 2018-2019 year.

Event Organizer

My first position with TEDxWabashCollege was in the role of a curator.

For our 2018 event, I researched prominent topics on the TED platform, as well as topics that would be prominent to our local community.

With this information, I moved forward and contacted individuals that I believed would be powerful speakers to have at our event.

Once I decided on the three speakers I would like to bring to the event, I worked with these speakers to outline and develop their talks in the TED format. 

Then, it was the day of the event! I prepped each speaker on professional speaker techniques derived from TED to ensure their talk reached its potential.

Hate is a strong word, but it might be the only one to describe how I feel about "traditional" 1:1s

Nothing got under my skin more than to wake up 30 mins early on a tuesday morning to tell my manager about my to-do list, so they could feel productive.

So, when I started Pneuma, I did my best to spin that model on it's head. 

1:1s shouldn't be about work. And if you're talking about a task list for more than 5 minutes, you're doing it wrong. 

Some thoughts below :)

What’s Happening In My World I used to think no one cared about what I was actually doing day to day. I assumed subscribers (you) only wanted the clea

Today would be a great day to ask yourself why you have notifications on

4 years into building Pneuma...

Plenty of reasons to have slack and email notifications on...

... and not a single one of them have changed my mind

I've done this for so long I assumed everyone else does it as well, but I don't think that's the case

I'll jump on a meeting with a vendor, and during the meeting the individual sharing the screen has to swipe away notifications every few minutes.

Why? What's the point?

Schedule time to check your notifications, or notifications will end up scheduling your entire day

PS - Use an app like Opal to block socials from your phone to not get distracted

PPS - Use Apple's DND mode to simply turn off everything.

Back in 2017, I started my journey as a WordPress Developer with a dream and a deep love for building websites.

I didn’t have a team. I didn’t have a big office.
But I had something more powerful — a strong belief that I could help agencies deliver WordPress websites for their clients without any stress.

So I began working with small marketing agencies from around the world. One by one, I built trust. I listened, delivered, and stayed behind the scenes. No noise. No ego. Just results.

As demand grew, I realized I couldn’t do it alone forever.
That’s when I built a team of 13 expert developers who shared my mindset: work quietly, deliver fast, and make clients look good.

Over time, I built 750+ WordPress websites for 65+ agencies globally — all under their brand. Many of them called me their “invisible teammate.”

That’s how DevHush was born.

Today, I lead DevHush with the same calm, focused energy — helping creative and marketing agencies scale their business without worrying about tech, hiring, or missed deadlines.

My goal is simple: let agencies do what they do best — while DevHush handles the rest.

The Tools Behind Every High-Performing WordPress Site

Why do so many agencies struggle with developers?
After working with 65+ agencies, I kept noticing the same problems:

• Developers missing deadlines
• Unreliable availability (too many leaves, no backup)
• Poor communication and project delays
• Quality issues that force agencies to re-do work
• High costs of hiring and maintaining in-house developers

But here’s the truth →
Agencies don’t want noise.
They want reliability, speed, clean delivery, and websites that truly support their clients’ growth.

That’s exactly why I built DevHush —
A silent, white-label WordPress partner built specially for agencies.
