A senior level quality analyst with seven years of game testing, customer service and training experience with Electronic Arts Canada. A skilled tester with a hard work ethic, strong leadership and a quick learner. I’ve had the pleasure of working in teams as small as two people, and as large as twenty, during which the importance of using strong verbal and written communication has been key. Consistently building solid working relationships both on a one on one basis and between departments using open, honest communication, a friendly, outgoing, energetic attitude, and a reliably on-time delivery of products and services.
