Event Description
In the next installment of our Third Thursday Thrive! series Sarah will be covering topics about QA Myths, things QA wish a Developer knew, QA Engineering to QA Management.

Special thanks to ISC Engineering and Kelly Feest at Elite Staffing for co-hosting this event!

Speaker
Sarah has 10+ years of experience in Quality Assurance Software Engineering in various industries including InsurTech, FinTech, and Healthcare. She combined her passion for coding with her desire to deliver high quality solutions to clients and built her career in QA, which started after completing postgraduate studies in computer science. While originally on her path to be a software engineer, she was interviewing for software engineering positions and got offered an opportunity to be automation QA engineer. From there, she found her passion in building a methodical approach in finding defects which helped her teams deliver reliable solutions on time. With more experience, she built strategies and guidelines for success, started knowledge sharing with her team members which qualified her to lead QA teams and continue the journey of Quality Assurance in Software Engineering.
