Jazz studied at Maryville College, where she received a Bachelors in International Studies with a Minor in Japanese Language. She got her start in QA as a tester at a AAA video game studio. In gaming, usually people tend to move on from QA into other game development roles, but Jazz found she had a fondness for testing specifically and wanted to build her career in that field. Since she preferred to do so outside of gaming, Jazz basically took the opposite path from the norm which suits her role here at Alpine.
