Spotted this on our activity feed. It instantly brought a smile to my face.
Lynda Hughes awards Beth Marshall a community star for her contributions to the Software Testing Essentials Certificate (STEC).
STEC is more than just a testing certificate. It's a way to build connections and appreciation for fellow community members. It's a way to learn together, to build a portfolio that not only demonstrates essential testing skills but also demonstrates powerful community skills. These community skills are far-reaching and long-lasting.
Thank you, Lynda, for showing how it's done. 🤩
