I joined the Wevise team as Manager, Operations. I love to collaborate in a world of creativity and teamwork! I'm comfortable navigating through daily tasks independently, but I truly believe that only together we can achieve amazing things.
I'm based in sunny San Diego, CA, and I like to start my workday at 9:00 AM sharp. My schedule revolves around my family and personal commitments, but I'm flexible and always prioritize getting things done. Originally from Mexico city, I moved to the US in 2016 (Se habla español!!)
I bring a few skills to the table, like critical thinking, managing programs, and making things run smoothly using Agile methods. I am a mentor and Certified Scrum Master, and recently, I got certified as a Professional Kanban Trainer. One super power I have is to eliminate spreadsheets ha! With over 13 years of experience in Quality Assurance, I'm all in for testing, failing and learning!
When it comes to working with me, it's all about clear communication, giving and receiving feedback, and brainstorming ideas together. I love a good visual aid to help understand complex stuff, and I'm always up for a chat to figure things out.
So, let's team up and make great things happen!
