## Source excerpt

Last week, all of Mozilla met in London for a whirlwind tour from TARDIS to TaskCluster, from BBC1 to e10s, from Regent Park to the release train, from Paddington to Positron. As an Outreachy intern, I felt incredibly lucky to be part of this event, which gave me a chance to get to know Mozilla, my team, and the other interns much better. It was a jam-packed work week of talks, meetings, team events, pubs, and parties, and it would be impossible to blog about all of the fun, fascinating, and foxy things I learned and did.

A role model serves as a bridge between the two. As I am a woman, and that is a fundamental part of my experience, a role model who shares that experience is that much easier for me to relate to. I wouldn't turn down a half-Irish-half-Indian American living in Germany, either. At any rate, in London I found no shortage of talented, experienced, and - perhaps most importantly - valued women at Mo
