## About

```text
At Willis Towers Watson, I serve as a Quality Assurance Analyst on the Product Scrum Team, contributing to user story analysis, test case creation and review, and functional and regression testing. I also validate target-to-source data integrity with SQL verification scripts and demo work to the Product Owner.

Previously, I served as Project Lead across initiatives in the Release Consumption Team, leading end-to-end QA from test planning through release closeout. I maintained Selenium-based C# automation scripts and supported release validation; earlier, I developed data-driven automation scripts using Telerik Test Studio.
