app.js 
let firstName = "Carl";
let lastName = "Mclamb";
let role = 'developer';
let msg = firstName + " " + lastName + ":"  + role.toUpperCase() + ".";

Hey Dude,

I think the problem you're having is more simple than you're thinking. If you re-read the challenge, they're looking for:

Carl Mclamb: DEVELOPER

You've written it as:

Carl Mclamb:DEVELOPER.

let firstName = 'Blake';
let lastName = 'Runyon';
let role = 'developer';
let msg = firstName + " " + lastName + ": " + role.toUpperCase();

I'm also new to JavaScript. One thing I've learned is to make sure you don't get tunnel vision on the complex problems and miss out on simple mistakes. Normally, for me at least, I make many simple mistakes haha. Good coding!

in order to convert the string 'role' into uppercase you need to use, console.log( role.toUpperCase() ); on the following line, which is line 5. the same is true for lower case, console.log( role.toLowerCase() );
