I have a background in education with 7 years teaching experience in New Zealand and Japan. I now apply the skills I have learnt, such as communication, relationship management, and the ability to break down complex concepts, to my roles in IT.I am a fast learner who enjoys the challenges of working in the high paced IT environment. I enjoy working in teams and helping others. I am a member of the Test Professionals Network Christchurch. I recently presented an introduction on Specflow (test automation tool) and I am happy to hear it inspired some in the audience to implement Specflow in their workplace.Outside of work I am currently pursuing my childhood dream of learning to fly. When I'm not flying I will be watching basketball, learning to code, or catching up with friends.
