Know Me
Let me introduce myself…
I’m a Junior Web Developer, a mom, a creative, a gardener, and recently a published Journal maker!
I value work-life balance and helping to make sure my kids have awesome memories and experiences.
Professionally, I have worn many hats on my tech journey, from rocking the role of Account Manager to diving into the world of WordPress Development and Teaching, Content Editing, and even donning the hat of a Technical Project Manager.

Course Instructor- WordPress Fundamentals
As a Web Development Instructor, I introduced students to WordPress Fundamentals using Gutenberg blocks and Divi Theme.
During the courses, the students completed portfolio and capstone projects and presented completed projects to a live group during Demo Day. The students participated as part of a partnership between Kansas WorkForce, Full Employment Council of Kansas City, the University of Missouri-Kansas City, and Yoodle Education Services. I also made curriculum adjustments and provided tutoring.
Two of the cohorts I taught were 16-week virtual, and then one in-person 8-week cohort.
Professional Reviews
Mollie H. - Graphic Designer
I worked with Arlaysha for about a year and it was a joy. She is a fantastic co-worker and brings a constant positivity to any environment she is in.
Arlaysha has a unique ability to be able to teach herself new skills, softwares, and development techniques very quickly. Further, she relays this newfound knowledge to those around her with passion and with clarity.
She strives when it comes to problem-solving. Where most would give up, Arlaysha will come to the table with various solutions to a problem.
I could always count on her to be a strong teammate and looked forward to working with her on various projects.

I’ve had the privilege of mentoring and working with Arlaysha on several projects over the last couple of years.
She is a quick learner and is always willing to jump in and try something new. She has a great understanding of the WordPress ecosystem but can also thrive in other environments as well.
I would highly recommend her to any team as I know she can take on any challenge you give her and be successful.
