In this episode, I have the pleasure of interviewing Courtney Robertson, where we dive into her background, upbringing, and professional journey. We start off with a lighthearted introduction before Courtney shares her roots in Shippensburg and Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, highlighting the historical significance of the area.

Courtney opens up about her career path, from her early days as a substitute teacher to her significant work within the WordPress community. She talks passionately about her love for teaching and how she balances her work and personal life, especially as a parent of two children on the autism spectrum. We also delve into her current role at GoDaddy, where she serves as a crucial link between developers and customers.

Our conversation takes us through Courtney’s interests in learning new programming languages and musical instruments. She reflects on her experiences with the WordPress community and her naturally extroverted personality. As we wrap up, we explore her personal life more deeply, discussing her family, partner, and aspirations, along with the impact technology has had on her life.
