Whitney Yadrich<\/h2>\n

\"Whitney<\/a>Born and bred on the Kansas side of the state line, Whitney has been working in online content management since 2005. After taking a course in multimedia journalism at her alma mater, the University of Kansas, she caught a fever. The only prescription was more Internet. She spent the next six years working for news organizations in northeast Kansas and the Kansas City metropolitan area, covering a wide spectrum of topics including sports, art, government, politics, crime and weather, with a focus on community management and engagement. During her journalism career, she was honored with awards from the Society of Professional Journalists, the Radio and Television Digital News Association (RTNDA Murrow Awards) and a 2008 Emmy Nomination from the Mid-America Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. In 2011, Whitney left journalism and started her career as a software project manager. She has managed dozens of projects from ideation to completion on a variety of platforms, but the flexibility and simplicity of content management on WordPress led her to 10up<\/a>, where she has been since 2015 and is a Senior Team Lead. Outside of work, you\u2019ll find Whitney playing outside, planning a travel adventure or engrossed in interior design projects.<\/p>\n

Mildred and Lita are her home office assistants, and they are both very good dogs.<\/p>\n
