Speakers Wrangler
Sumner has been designing websites since 1997. Twelve years ago, she was introduced to WordPress and fell in love with it. Her passion is Web Accessibility, and she specializes in Web Accessibility on WordPress. She educates business owners and web designers on the increased value and how to design an Accessible website. Through her long-standing organization, she and her team have built, maintained, evaluated, and remediated dozens of WordPress websites to WCAG 2.1 success criterion. Her clients are most often referred by other clients and from attorneys. She is active in accessibility and legal conferences and educational venues.
She and two colleagues founded a local Meetup to discuss WordPress and accessibility and have invited renowned speakers on Accessibility topics to be the guest presenters. Partnering with two other local Meetup organizers, they organized the first annual Mega Meetup WordPress Accessibility Day in August 2020. She is a member of the International Association of Accessibility Professionals (IAAP) and an active supporter of various disability organizations. She is currently participating in Knowbility’s AIR RALLY2020.
After having so much fun as the Speaker Wrangler for WordCamp Santa Clarita 2020, Sumner volunteered to be on the Speaker Wrangler team for WordCamp LAX 2020. She is owned by a rescue dog named Tigger and his rescue cat, Merlin, and their newest rescue kitty, yet to be named!
