Welcome to my world

Hi, I’m Hope Roth
a Technologist.

I bring 15+ years of AV expertise. I’ve earned honors from the Q‑SYS Wizard to AVIXA’s Educator of the year. With degrees in computer science and history, I blends technical depth with big‑picture thinking. When I’m not empowering developers or building community, you might find me in the air as a Lyra performer.

#PetitPois are in season right now, so they’re everywhere. This recipe for gnocchi with a feta pea sauce was a perfect way to use fresh peas from the market. I didn’t have snow peas, so I added some chickpeas to keep the same ratio of sauce to gnocchi to veggies. I also threw in some spinach for color. 

I wish we had a better food processor, but I’m still quite pleased with how this came out.

I’ve done this pose a hundred times. Today, I just… fell out the back. I’m still not sure how that happened.

Thank you to @moonshield for videography *and* some coaching. I always forget to cry! 😂

I thought I was useless at #poledancing but it turns out I just have really sweaty hands. I bought some #dryhands from @the_glam_queens_playground and it all clicked for me.

@the_glam_queens_playground always gives us the best transitions to work on.
