About

I am a detail-oriented professional with over 7 years of experience in the tech industry, currently transitioning from a Lead Quality Analyst to a Business Analyst role. My career has been defined by a passion for bridging the gap between complex business requirements and high-quality technical execution across the Ed-Tech, Healthcare, and Social Impact sectors. Throughout my tenure at iAriana Technologies, I evolved from ensuring software worked correctly to ensuring we were building the right software. I have a proven track record of facilitating JAD sessions, eliciting deep-dive requirements, and translating stakeholder visions into actionable BRDs, FRDs, and User Stories.
