What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a QA role where I can own manual testing, strengthen documentation quality, and track defects end-to-end. I want a team that values clear communication, risk awareness, and continuous learning—especially as automation grows.

I’m a certified Manual Software Quality Assurance Engineer who brings a risk-aware, detail-first approach to testing and documentation. In my recent orchestra/mobile productivity app internship, I reviewed software documentation for technical accuracy and completeness, planned both manual and automated test schedules, and tracked bug resolutions to support timely delivery.

Before moving deeper into QA, I built a strong foundation in high-stakes customer operations—especially in healthcare. As a Healthcare Benefits Specialist and Client Relations Associate, I expedited accurate processing of benefits elections and annual enrollment details, supported clients and caregivers with clear guidance, and handled complex information with calm, service-oriented communication.

Across roles like security, logistics coordination, mortgage processing, and classroom teaching, I’ve consistently worked with accuracy, accountability, and people-first communication. I bring that same mindset to QA: I document clearly, communicate issues early, and focus on resolving problems efficiently so the product meets expectations and users get reliable outcomes.
