ABOUT

Avatar_1.png

I was inspired to pursue a career in video games by my love of art and games. I have a Bachelor's degree in Media Arts and Animation, and focused on game art and design throughout college. I sought out a QA position initially to get my foot in the door of the game industry then continue on to art or potentially design. I ended up really liking QA and decided to change plans. 

​

I like to play RPGs, strategy, sim, horror/survival and action-adventure video games. Some of my favorites are Resident Evil, Horizon Zero Dawn, Skyrim, Fable. 

 

As a QA tester for AAA titles across PC, console, and mobile, I conducted functional and regression testing, leveraging tools like Jira and TestRail to track and resolve 500+ bugs. I performed exploratory testing to uncover edge cases, collaborated with cross-functional teams to refine gameplay balance and UI/UX, and developed test plans for multiplayer features like matchmaking and server stability. By automating repetitive tests with Python and Unity, I cut manual testing time by 30%, while ensuring compliance with ESRB and PEGI standards through rigorous documentation and testing.
