Other Relevant Qualifications/Experience

As of August 2018 I successfully completed my ISTQB (International Software Testing Qualifications Board) foundation exam. This is an internationally recognised software testing examination, with content on all methods of testing.

My background as a consultant and my technical skills I have picked up have helped me gain confidence in customer facing roles.

Throughout my time at Expleo and Ford team building activities were always encouraged. In a consultancy role I am regularly faced with new teams and the ability to adapt to these new teams on short notice is a skill I have developed over the duration of my time at Expleo.

Interests & Achievements

I play guitar to a high level and with this have taught guitar to younger children and this has shown me the importance of patience and good communication skills. From playing the guitar I have gained skills such as determination and dedication. I have participated in relay marathons for charity, and also regularly play at a high level in football which greatly helps my teamwork.
