Raquel is the founder of WonderlandCurious, a tech event consultancy focused on creating innovative, people-first experiences. With more than a decade of leadership and contribution in the WordPress ecosystem, including organizing WordCamps, supporting local meetups, and helping shape community spaces. She brings deep community roots and real-world business perspective to everything she builds. In 2010, Raquel founded Mode Effect, a WooCommerce-focused agency she led and successfully exited in 2020.
Today, she channels that experience into PressConf, a conference designed to bring candid, unrecorded conversations to the leaders shaping the WordPress economy.
A perpetually curious soul with a passion for community building, Raquel believes deeply in the power of meaningful connection wherever her feet land. Outside of work, she is a recent graduate of full-time parenthood and embraces life with wanderlust, a love for music and the outdoors, a playful sense of sass, and a deep connection to her big, Indigenous family.
