Colleagues describe her as "I highly recommend Sarah as an incredibly skilled and dedicated software tester. I had the pleasure of working with her on the DOJ Victim's Compensation Fund project while at IBM. Although quiet at first, Sarah quickly demonstrated exceptional aptitude for quality assurance. She quickly gained deep expertise that allowed her to identify critical software issues overlooked by others, exemplifying her commitment to thorough testing. Sarah is a natural leader and communicator. Despite her minimal experience initially, she capably stepped in as acting head of testing when her team lead departed. She worked effectively across groups, advocating testing priorities and reporting progress. Sarah motivated her QA peers with a supportive, focused management style. In both her testing capabilities and collaborative leadership, Sarah's tremendous growth over the project reveals both her technical and leadership skills. She upholds the highest QA standards and brings out the best in those around her. I would eagerly work with her again; confident she will continue to boost the impact of any software team - and find defects you never imagined could exist."
