About

With over six years of experience in software quality control and testing, I am a professional who is passionate about ensuring the reliability, functionality, and accessibility of software applications. I am currently a Quality Control Analyst at Globant, a global leader in digital transformation, where I plan, design, and execute comprehensive tests for various client projects, using agile methodologies and industry best practices.

I am also an ISTQB Certified Tester, a Cambridge C2 English speaker, and a testing instructor, who loves to share my knowledge and skills with others.

I am an active WTM Ambassador, a diversity, equity, and inclusion initiative that empowers women and underrepresented groups in the tech industry. I believe that quality is not only a technical aspect, but also a cultural and social one, and I strive to make a positive impact in the world through my work and advocacy.

My motto is "if a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing well".
