HeroPress.comA welcoming community that embraces authenticity – 本物らしさを受け入れる温かいコミュニティ

Ben Evans

Ben Evans had a love for teaching that he was able to leverage in the WordPress community when the pandemic hit.

I had opportunities to be part of educational projects within Automattic. I coached Japanese support agents, created internal training materials, and developed a new onboarding program for new employees. These experiences rekindled my love for education.

Ben’s essay is available on HeroPress.com.
