Izabela is one of the most diligent colleagues I have worked with. In both QA related matters and later LiveOps setups nothing was left to chance, she made sure that all scenarios were accounted for and clearly conveyed the status on all items under her care. She is also a fantastic mentor to more junior colleagues, taking time to explain the ins and outs of our tools, setups and procedures to anyone that requested or needed it. On top of all that, her demeanor is calm, joyful and relaxed. Under the most stressful situations she keeps her cool and rallies the entire teams morale. I wholeheartedly recommend Iza to anyone that is looking for a top level contributor, both in QA and LiveOps.
