To kick off our celebration of the amazing women at #GlobalStep, we are delighted to spotlight Rachel Varnell, Test Lead in #GamesQA from the #USA. Rachel brings a wealth of experience and a passion for innovation from her extensive background in the gaming industry.? Experience in gaming and GlobalStep ? Rachel’s career in gaming, specifically in quality assurance, began during her college years when she started working part-time in gaming. Over 7 years, she progressed from a regular tester to a specialist role in accessibility, where she was among the few certified experts in the field. Recently joining GlobalStep just one month ago, Rachel has already made a significant impact by bringing her expertise and dedication to Games QA. Her journey is a testament to her resilience, commitment, and passion for quality in gaming.? ??5 Pieces of Advice for Aspiring Women in Games QA?? ?Don’t Waste Time Second-Guessing Your Talents: Know your worth and run with it. If you spend time doubting your abilities, you risk missing out on amazing opportunities. Trust in what you bring to the table. ?Keep Asking Questions: Admit when you don’t know something — it’s far better than proceeding without clarity. Asking questions not only deepens your understanding but also accelerates your growth. ?Never Pass Up an Opportunity to Learn: Embrace every chance to learn something new, even if it doesn’t seem immediately relevant. Cross-department experiences can turn into assets when you least expect it. ?Allow Yourself to Relax: The tech industry can push you to work until you drop, so it’s crucial to take time for yourself. Managing your work-life balance helps prevent burnout and keeps you at your best. ?Find Community in Your Workplace: Building strong relationships and cultivating a support system within your team makes all the difference. A sense of community can transform even the toughest days into opportunities for connection and resilience. Rachel's journey and advice underscore the importance of self-belief, continuous learning, and finding balance in the fast-paced world of gaming. Her insights serve as an inspiration to all aspiring women in Games , encouraging them to seize every opportunity and build a fulfilling career. Thank you, Rachel, for the amazing advice!
