Speaker Spotlight: Miriam Goldman

Miriam has been a web and software developer for the past twelve years, having been lucky to work in the industry right out of college. She taught herself HTML at a young age. She used WordPress exclusively in her daytime job from 2012-2016, and has been a freelance WordPress developer/user since 2008-09.

Miriam will be giving a talk titled “Plugins and You: Finding that perfect plugin “.


What is your favorite improvement to WordPress this past year?

Hard to say. I found the Codex to be a bit cleaner somehow, so that’s a plus!

Why did you decide to speak at WordCamp Montreal?

I wanted to broaden my experience, and speak at WordCamps outside my home base.

What is your talk going to be about?

It’s going to be my personal guide to selecting the right plugin for your use case.

What is the one thing you want people to walk away with from your talk?

I want them to hear about a different perspective, and perhaps gain some tips and tricks to the selection process.

Who in the WordPress community inspires you? Who do you follow?

That’s a hard one. There’s no one in particular that comes straight to my mind, and I follow a variety of people. Everyone brings a different perspective to the game.

What new feature would you like to see in the future?

Not sure!
