Lead Chapters in the MoTaverse

Being a professional member in the MoTaverse gave me the opportunity to become Chapter Lead for MoT Berlin and find my voice in the community.

While it is a lot of work to organize Chapter events, it is also a lot of fun. I get to meet new people in the software quality scene in Berlin and watch them building their dreams from scratch, along with learning from and working together with some well-known names in quality. 

At work, it has given me the sense of visibility that we testers often lack: co-workers now approach me with questions about quality and ask me for advice regularly. I gained confidence off and on stage, which will help me in becoming a public speaker on the topics I really care about. But what means the most is knowing I'm giving back to the community that has given me so much.
