I also analyzed web analytics, suggested article trends, and trained the new Web Manager.
My blog, built in 2018, is where I have written about my growth, interests, and passion over the years. It’s also a playground to practice my WordPress skills.

As a result, the site turned from “dirtier than 64% of web pages tested” to “cleaner than 82% of web pages tested.”
