About

QA and project-focused leader with experience supporting AAA game development teams across Blizzard Entertainment and Activision. I’ve worked on major titles including Diablo IV, Call of Duty: Vanguard, Warzone, Warzone 2.0, and Modern Warfare II, partnering closely with engineering, design, production, and live teams to support quality, organization, and delivery. My background spans hands-on testing, feature ownership, and team leadership. Over time, I’ve grown into roles that emphasize communication, process clarity, and people-first leadership—establishing consistent triage rhythms, improving cross-team collaboration, and helping teams stay aligned in fast-moving development environments. I’m especially passionate about mentoring others, supporting professional growth, and working alongside learning and development teams to help individuals and teams thrive. Before entering the games industry, I built strong communication and leadership skills in customer-facing roles, including sales leadership positions at American Eagle, AT&T, and ADT Security in Austin, TX. Originally from New York, I also worked as a server at the iconic Comic Strip Live, experiences that shaped my ability to connect with people, adapt quickly, and lead with empathy. I’m deeply passionate about video game development, collaborative leadership, and creating environments where people feel supported, challenged, and empowered to do their best work.
