I've been an IT Consultant for some 25+ yrs, and a Web Developer for some 18+ years. I enjoy Open Source software and like to give back how and when I can. I have done some extensive beta-testing for many different projects/softwares.
I speak English, French fluently. I also have some languages skills in German and notions of Norwegian.
I have been helping indirectly Joomla for years but actively to the Joomla project since ~ Feb. 2024.
Hello, thanks for checking out my profile. I've been working with Joomla since 2008 and I run a small Joomla! based digital agency called Square Balloon.
I'm very people orientated, so if anyone wants to get in touch for any reason whatsoever, just reach out. Friendly is my middle name. Well... it's not, but given my first name, you would probably believe anything I say about my middle names.
Before you ask, Mum suffers from a spelling disability called being Irish. Dad is English... but he's dyslexic so he can't spell either. Perhaps Mum was taunting him when she gave us all silly names. Anyway, it's pronounced, "Owen".
Heather is from the Shetland Islands in Scotland (where there are no trees) and has a degree in Marine Resource Management with an emphasis on aquaculture (more mussels please). She now lives in upstate New York, and works in forest resource management, with an emphasis on water quality - specifically NYC's water supply …… so basically the same!
She has been using Joomla since 2015 and currently manages one Joomla site, and reluctantly a WordPress one, for the non-profit organization she works for. She is just beginning to expand her Joomla network through some Joomla user groups and hopes to attend the 2025 Joomla Day USA in person to expand her skills and knowledge.
Heather enjoys traveling, wine, all the food, her horses (even the small terrorist pony), and cutting down trees.
