Test engineer, Test lead, Quality manager
she/her
I've been in testing since 2023, since then I never stopped learning and taking every opportunity I've come across. From becoming test lead not long after I started, to being a community lead for testing and for AI in at the company I work at. Nowadays I'm learning the ropes of leading with quality as I have added the role of quality manager of my department to my growing list of titles.
