My education is in traditional software development, but I found a passion early in my career for developing test automation. Not only has this allowed me to challenge myself with new and evolving technologies, but it has granted me a unique perspective in the software development lifecycle. I strive to improve both quality and efficiency for all roles through the implementation of tools, test frameworks, test suites, and testing standards while leveraging my background to help lead others and influence important decisions. I am a strong believer in "shift-left testing" and will continue to look for better ways to accomplish early testing. I am continually looking for new opportunities to challenge myself both technically and in leadership and am excited for what possibilities the future holds in this industry!
