I am the owner of Compound Pharmacy Marketing, a former nuclear chemist, award winning speaker, marketer and the best girlfriend in the world to my guy Jeff (that’s what what he said).
For the past 14 years I have been working with pharmacists who make custom medications and helping them to market their services to doctors and the public. I help them with social media marketing, offline marketing and website design using WordPress of course as their platform.
Speaking session
19 Plugins You Should Be Using
What’s your presentation about?
Learn about the 15 plugins that I think are essential to having a well functioning (and even fun) website!
What do you want people to get out of your presentation?
I want them to learn more about some plugins that give their website more functionality and help make client’s websites pop.
Why did you decide to speak?
Honestly, I don’t see a lot of women speaking (or attending) at WordCamp and even less black women. I figured I could share what I know and hopefully attract more women to this awesome platform.
What attracted you to WordPress in the first place?
Long story! I had a really bad website using iWeb ( remember that from Mac?) My business coach said it was terrible. I was new in business and had heard about WP. I called my friend who was also new in business and convinced her we should try this WordPress thing. I figured it couldn’t be that hard and we could have our sites done by the new year. It was November at the time. Well Easter rolled around and we still didn’t have a site. I was ready to start drinking when I found a savior on Elance who showed us what to do. I then started to learn all I could about WP and now I do sites for others.
What is your favourite plugin or theme, and why?
My favorite theme is StudioPress and my favorite plugin this week is CoSchedule. It’s one of the many plugins I’ll discuss at WordCamp. 🙂
What are you most looking forward to at WordCamp Toronto?
I love learning how I can use WP for my clients and get better SEO for them. I also love Toronto. I mean what’s not to love?
