We’ve had another last minute speaker lineup change. Chris Rogers isn’t able to join us this year. Instead, I’m happy to announce that my good friend Allison Tarr will be speaking instead about the importance of mental health as developers. Allison is coming all the way from Toronto (in Canada) and didn’t think she’d be able to make it to WordCamp SLC at all, but a stroke of luck (on our part) brought her to our neck of the woods and she’s agreed to step in and be our 11th hour speaker. Welcome Allison!
Allison is a front-end developer based out of Toronto, Ontario. As a result of her own lived experience, Allison is a mental health advocate and wants to create a more open conversation to combat existing stigma and provide additional resources. She loves guacamole, Sass, and Dolly Parton (not necessarily in that order) and her favourite flightless bird is the kakapo.
