8. Hanni Ross @hanni hanni.me Being a part of the community has definitely given me opportunities I wouldn't have had otherwise. I'm able to pursue a career and really grow as a community and company leader while being flexible enough to move with my husband and have a family. I love being challenged by both the software I use and build and by the amazing minds that surround me. I've also made some incredible friendships that extend beyond WordPress - even in a virtual, distributed world, I feel connected. - Helen Hou-Sandi
9. Hanni Ross @hanni hanni.me As a designer, it's hard to find ways to give back to the tech industry. Our paths aren't as clear as developers, but we benefit from the industry in the same ways. WordPress makes it a bit easier, because we have such a large focus on design. Contributing to WordPress is my way of giving back not only to an industry, but to the world. - Mel Choyce
