What have I done wrong with this code?

app.js 
var firstName = "Dorian";
var lastName = "Ellison"; 
var role = "developer";
var msg = `${firstName} ${lastName}: ${role}`;
role.toUpperCase();

Hi there, Dorian Ellison! You're calling the correct method, but in the incorrect spot. It should be on the same line where you have the let msg =. So instead of ${role}, you're looking for ${role.toUpperCase()}.

Currently, you're performing the conversion to upper case on role after the msg variable is defined but we want it as part of the message.

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
