Portfolio

With over 20 years in quality engineering, I have extensive experience leading teams, establishing quality processes and best practices, and cultivating a culture of quality. I also provide mentoring and coaching for women in tech, quality engineers, and leaders.

In my spare time, I write and publish QUALITY BOSS, a newsletter focused on quality engineering, leadership, and the experiences of being a woman in tech.

QUALITY BOSS

2023 - Present

​

QUALITY BOSS is a weekly newsletter where I share insights and reflections on quality engineering, leadership, and the experiences of being a woman in tech.

​

  • Quality Engineering: Best practices, tools, and strategies to ensure software and products meet and exceed user expectations.

  • Leadership & Growth: I believe in leading with empathy and inclusivity. I discuss various topics on effectively managing and leading teams and tips for personal and professional growth at all levels.

  • Reflections (On Being a Woman in Tech): As a woman in a male-dominated industry, I understand the unique challenges and triumphs that come with it. I share personal stories, tips, and advice for navigating and thriving in the tech world.
