An inveterate volunteer since 2005, Angela Jin has cultivated a passion for building strong, inclusive communities. She took this literally for some time, and worked at a commercial real estate consulting firm where she endeavored to align progressive development with community goals. It was through this role that Angela discovered WordPress, which in turn inspired her to join Automattic as a Community Organizer for the WordPress open source project. Angela hails from Seattle, Washington, and delights in reading, hiking, and traveling.
