Myself, Melissa Fisher and Rahul Parwal take a selfie infront of a mostly empty auditorium

This week I got an email "TestBash Brighton 2025 - Your submission result". Unfortunately for me, I've not been invited to speak at TestBash 2025 but that's okay! It prompted me to find this picture of myself with the amazing humans Melissa Fisher and Rahul Parwal. This picture was taken on stage before Rahuls panel discussion.

If you have been invited to speak at TestBash or another conference this year, here's my advice for you - go onto the stage, take it all in and smile - tricking your brain into feeling more relaxed and confident.

I have a sixth sense for bugs, probably due to my experience as a dev (introducing them)! I love to learn and read. Playwright fan-girl.
