About Me.

I'm currently in the healthcare field and have hands-on experience in Software Quality Assurance. I completed a QA Engineering Bootcamp with TripleTen, where I gained skills in both manual and automation testing.

My journey has been unique — during college, I played basketball for Kent State University at Tuscarawas for two years and majored in Computer Technology. After the passing of my grandmother and mother, I made the difficult decision to return home, but that experience strengthened my focus and purpose.

Throughout my life, I've always enjoyed exploring how technology works — whether testing video games, helping friends troubleshoot computers, or diving deep into website functionality. Since then, I've tested projects like King Corps Entertainment's website, a dental company platform, and several other web applications.

Now, I'm eager to re-enter the QA field full-time, bringing my analytical mindset, empathy, and determination to every project. My career path has shown me that every experience has led me to QA — a field where I can challenge myself, grow continuously, and make a real impact on software quality.
