Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Jennifer Gaddis.

Senior Quality Assurance Engineer, Educator, Founder of Road to QA


1. Purpose of the Interview

The primary purpose of the interview is to inspire and educate everyday people—especially those without college degrees or traditional tech backgrounds—on how to pivot into technology careers, specifically Quality Assurance (QA), and to reframe fear around AI, layoffs, and automation into opportunity.

Jennifer’s story is used as proof of concept that:

  • You do not need a college degree to succeed in tech
  • Transferable skills already qualify many people for QA roles
  • AI does not eliminate jobs—it creates new opportunities
  • Strategic career pivots can result in life-changing income and freedom

Rushion positions Jennifer not only as a success story, but as a new blueprint for wealth-building through skills, not credentials. [
