I am a professional software tester with 16 years experience. I've tested in a variety of industries and team compositions, however my passion is for the people side of software testing. I enjoy helping other testers to find their passion for testing and to help other team members understand more about testing. I am highly involved in the software testing community worldwide and dedicate time to causes I believe have the potential to improve the industry in a global, community or individual level. I serve the Association for Software testing as the current Vice President, I am a brown belt in the Miagi-Do School of Testing, the coordinator and facilitator for Weekend Testing Australia and New Zealand. I speak at various test conferences, write for test magazines and blog at roadlesstested.com. I am also passionate about diversity in tech and mentor women through the SpeakEasy program.
