Quality Assurance Manager
I joined the EDealer team just over three years ago in April 2015. I went to Algonquin College for Advertising and Marketing Communications and through the program, I fell in love with design.
I began at EDealer in Design QA but my role here has really developed since then. Today, all our sites go through rigorous design and functionality testing and I am always looking for ways to improve our process. My goal is to ensure all our dealers are left with a top-notch site and that their clients have a great experience on the site as well.
In my free time what I enjoy most is spending time with family and friends and of course travelling! I have been to 16 countries so far and can’t wait to keep discovering this amazing world. My number one travel spot so far has been Italy. The food, culture, history and Amalfi Coast are just perfection!
