Every year I say "this is packed!" fully meaning it. But seriously, for my personal interests and needs, this year's edition covers exactly what I hoped and more. Hyped doesn't begin to describe it.

It has arrived!
Thank you!
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much!
You have worked so hard for years... This award made me very happy. Thank you for being the biggest champion in Bethesda. Well deserved!
I was interviewed by @squirrelbug.bsky.social for @gamer.no about the importance of game accessibility!
"Gaming is for you, no matter what kind of life situation you are in." ❤️
Thank you so much for interviewing me!
I just found out I was nominated in THREE categories at the 2026 the*gamehers Awards and I’m honestly baffled-happy 🥹✨
Advocates for Representation, TrailblazeHERs in Gaming, and Community Champion - this kind of recognition is incredibly meaningful.
Thank you everyone! Advocating for accessibility is often a hard and emotionally draining job. We often remember the features that got cut and forget the progress we make. The GA Conf awards is an amazing opportunity to celebrate the games and the people who make accessible games possible.
Holy, I cannot believe this actually happened! I won?!
Thank you everyone! I have had one of the hardest year in 2025, but the focus on accessibility, something so much more important in the big scheme of things, have kept me afloat and happy <3
But I'm standing on shoulders of giants
Thank you so much! You have done so much in these years. Your energy, knowledge, charisma and more make you unique and so deserving of this recognition.
First of all, thank you so much to everyone for this award. I was happy with the nomination, so you can't imagine how I feel right now 😊. Everyone who was nominated alongside me was equally deserving, and it's an honor to be among them. Thank you so much.

All that remains is for me to wish you all a happy end to the year, a wonderful start to the New Year, and that we can enjoy it with health, work, and the love of our family and friends.
Happy New Year!
I know it has been a difficult year due to the loss of colleagues who are no longer with us for one reason or another, and all the effort invested is even more commendable.
