My main joys in life are: 
video streaming, conference organizing
, coding, directing tv, bicycles and cats.
 We might have met at srccon, nicar, csvconf, a python conference or at a pyladies meetup. 
 I’m also a PSF Fellow and Chair of PyCon US 2025-2026

Went into the office today and ended up leaving 2 hours later than anticipated due to giving an impromptu newsroom tour then chatting with folks I haven’t seen in a while. There’s some good habits from conf life and there’s not so good habits….

One of our attendees has misplaced their #PyConUS branded bag. Could you please take a quick moment to check the contents of your bag to make sure they belong to you? We'd love to reunite the missing bag with its owner. Thank you!
