Carole joined the WordPress community in 2016 – during a four-year sabbatical to take care of her mental health – and it was life-changing!
Carole quit her former job as a government administrator, left her home country Luxembourg, and threw herself into WordCamp volunteering, organizing, and speaking while traveling the world.
Furthermore, she quickly became an advocate for positive mental health, diversity, and inclusion in tech.
Recently, she joined Yoast as a Culture & Recruitment Strategist after finding her passion in taking team culture and recruitment marketing to the next level.
Carole is also the Head of CloudFest Hackathon, enabling the setting of milestones for open-source projects at the leading conference for cloud computing.
In the past few years, she has worked in various roles at several companies in the WordPress industry, including a leading WebOps platform and a renowned WordPress agency.
Carole current home base is in a rural region of Germany, where she shares her partially digital nomadic life with her husband and #BuffyTheDog, who she successfully trained to be her certified psychiatric service dog.
The contrast and variety between quiet country life and adventurous travels around the world, all while working remotely, have proven to be a true source of inspiration for her.
