Walk With Me

I've tested enterprise Salesforce CRM solutions across 5+ industries. Often as the sole QA, I've led UAT, coached teams, and built scalable test strategies. 


Here, I share real-world examples of how I approach my work —always with clarity and heart.

Amazon - Salesforce QA Lead & Analyst | Consultant

Global Real Estate Facilities Management

What I Walked Into:

Amazon’s global real estate team was rolling out multiple Salesforce solutions across three major regions—AMER, EMEA, and APAC—with fragmented QA efforts, no reusable templates, and inconsistent stakeholder alignment.

What I Did:

I led and conducted hands on manual testing for multiple Salesforce initiatives across facilities planning, vendor onboarding, and data insights. 


I built scalable manual test strategies, coached a team of 3 SDETs, and created reusable QA templates to drive consistency. I partnered across time zones, supported developers with shift-left practices, and documented every phase of testing—from backlog grooming to post-deployment validation.

What I Learned:

Great QA at scale depends on clear expectations, reusable assets, and collaboration that bridges teams and time zones.


American Red Cross – Salesforce QA Analyst

Non-Profit

What I Walked Into:

The team was focused on an initiative to convert their Salesforce Classic instance to Salesforce Lightning and lacked consistent UAT processes and automation buy-in.

What I Did:

I defined a regression test library and executed functional testing and UAT focused test scenarios across departments, authored test cases that mimic business-critical workflows, and used those to spark conversation around test automation. 


I created and ran a 4-part QA training series for developers, helping shift the team’s thinking left. I also built 10 Provar test scripts to demonstrate the value of automation in supporting future regression cycles.

What I Learned:

QA builds credibility not just by finding defects—but by coaching teams toward quality ownership and scalable tools.


W.L. Gore – Salesforce QA Analyst

Business To Business/Business To Commerce

What I Walked Into:

The eCommerce division had inconsistent user experiences across markets and four public-facing stores, and the QA team needed to validate workflows involving Salesforce, DocuSign, and portals in a high-visibility B2B/B2C setup.

What I Did:

I tested cross-country workflows and integrations across four stores, identified pain points, and clarified story gaps. I worked closely with business stakeholders to analyze country-specific rules and proactively raised usability issues that improved adoption. My root cause analysis reduced defect recurrence across multiple markets.

What I Learned:

Testing across global markets isn’t just about covering the basics—it’s about identifying context, asking questions, and advocating for users.


Sunnova Energy - Salesforce QA Lead & UAT Lead

Solar Energy

What I Walked Into:

The company was building and launching a $300K Salesforce FinancialForce automation project with limited UAT structure, and over 15 internal stakeholders who needed alignment.

What I Did:

In just 4 months, I solely conducted hands-on integration testing and stepped up to lead the end-to-end UAT process—from defining test scenarios to coordinating stakeholder reviews. 


I wrote test cases for billing logic, validated financial workflows using SOQL and Workbench, and ensured every business rule was reflected accurately in test conditions. 


By uncovering system misconfigurations early, I helped reduce post-launch defects by 75%.

What I Learned:

Leading UAT is about more than testing—it’s about creating clarity, asking tough questions, and protecting revenue-critical processes.


HSF Affiliates - Salesforce QA Analyst

Real Estate Awards Management

What I Walked Into:

The team was migrating to a Salesforce-based awards system to manage agent eligibility and recognition workflows—and needed detailed QA support during data migration and rollout.

What I Did:

I worked closely with the product owner, led and conducted testing for data accuracy via SQL, validation rules, and award automation logic. 


I worked directly with business SMEs to confirm workflows, supported demo approvals, and ensured the new system aligned with existing reporting needs. I also partnered with developers to streamline QA feedback during sprints.

What I Learned:

Great QA is more than execution—it’s about stewarding the integrity of systems that matter to real users, especially in milestone moments.
