Ask better. Find it sooner.

I’m a Senior QA specializing in manual testing. For more than eight years I’ve been finding what a system gets wrong before the people who rely on it notice. Curiosity, judgment and the right questions make products better.

I use Gherkin, Xray, Postman, SQL and Git to turn business needs into rigorous test strategies. I’m interested in applying AI to testing while keeping the manual judgment that makes a good tester.

“If it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing well.”

Explore with intent

Exploratory and functional testing to uncover unexpected behavior and friction in the experience.

Exploratory, functional, API

Bring clarity to the team

Clear requirements, BDD scenarios and acceptance criteria that connect business, development and quality.

BDD, Gherkin, Jira, Xray

Think about who uses it

A Quality Experience lens: accessibility, context and real needs in every quality decision.

QX, accessibility, agile

Getting ready to lead.

Testing already puts me between product, development and the business, making sure everyone agrees on what “done” means. Over the last two years I’ve trained for the work around that: planning delivery, aligning stakeholders and helping people grow.

In practice

  • Mentoring. I ran upskilling courses for more than ten junior QAs at Globant.
  • Community. As a Women Techmakers Ambassador, I coordinate local events and speakers.
  • Onboarding. I wrote an open playbook for teams bringing junior testers on board.
