Grateful for introduction to another community member

I first met Emily when we sat next to each other at PeersCon25. I was nervous as I was about to give one of my first conference talks on a work topic. She made me feel at ease and has every time we have met since. Emily has made a me feel a home in several spaces when I may not have done. Thank you for being yourself! I'm glad that we met.

Demonstrated testing skills during a Software Testing Live

Kudos for co-hosting your first Software Testing Live. Your skills using agentic tools to write playwright test, and your critical thinking we could use to review the output, was simply awesome. Well done.
