## Source excerpt

What motivates you to be a Cypress Ambassador? I want to help grow a strong, practical testing community around Cypress. I show people working code and let them build confidence by doing. That's the same philosophy behind the bootcamp I run: everyone leaves with their own repo, not just notes. How do you currently help others that are either using Cypress or interested in using Cypress? I mentor teammates and collaborate closely with developers and product owners to improve testing practices
