About Patricia BT

World Citizen, community facilitator, connector and problem solver. I'm a “solopreneur” enjoying WordPress (especially WordCamp events and the people from the community) – Science/Environment – Peace – Evolution – Humanism – Allyship to Minorities and under-represented groups – Authenticity – Kindness. My goal is to help everyone get their voice heard and promote global peace. → https://patriciabt.com/ I love dedicated and meaningful relationships with other people and 1 to 1 conversations (and coffee, cheese and chocolate ;) ) Contact me via one of the social media listed on this page, or via the contact form: https://patriciabt.com/contact -- Contribution to WordPress -- I love to get involved in the WordPress community, as it’s a pleasant way to give back to WordPress what WordPress allows me to accomplish on my business and personal sites. I co-organise the WordPress meetups in Geneva since 2013 and have been part of the WordCamps organisation teams in Swiss WordPress events since 2016. I have also been a speaker or a volunteer in several other events. Full WordPress story: https://patriciabt.com/wordpress I recently bumbed up the number of hours I spend contributing, it's now about 2-3 day per week. I'm not sponsored and might in the future be sponsored by my own company when I will establish my LLC (later this year) and dedicate working hours to WP contribution instead of doing on my free time/sleeping time like now. I hope to also be able to sponsor another person for a few hours. Both under the "Five for the Future" program.
