Got Game?

Prior to UCLA Extension I was employed at Activision Studios as the Quality Assurance Coordinator. I screened resumes, conducted interviews, performed background checks, trained new employees in company policy and procedure. Achieved departmental growth of thirty to fifty employees in six months.

After that I became Quality Assurance Game Tester and then Lead Tester.

As a tester I made a department record logging over 1300 problems, almost 1/3 of the entire bug database for the game "Zork: Nemesis".  Other games I tested were the "Mechwarrior" series including "Ghost Bear" and "Mercenaries", "Shanghai Great Moments" and "NetMech".

Licensing and Merchandising

Prior to Activision Studios I worked for the licensing office for the cartoon character "Cathy". At that time Guisewite Studio licensed 30 products for the character, and held the rights for "Roy Rogers". As Office Manager I ordered supplies and equipment, created a workbook of the Cathy art that sped up the approval process by 50% and created a database of all licensed products which included the location of product samples in storage.  I answered fan mail and assisted in personal requests for the creator of "Cathy".

Today, I still offer computer consultation services for Cathy's Macintosh-based office.
