Speaking

I have spoken at various conferences, events, and WordCamps. I deeply believe in the spirit of open source and enjoy teaching what I know to others. I encourage everyone to speak about what you know no matter what level, there is always someone who can learn from your various experiences.

If you would like me to speak at your conference: contact me at sara@ran.ge. Thank You!
