Having been born in Ohio and living there as a child, I feel a strong connection to those roots and to my fellow Ohioans. As User Experience Director for the National Financial Educators Council, I’m the organization’s front-line contact for promoting the financial wellness cause. My approach is to give the people I serve top priority when designing real-world financial education solutions. I’ve learned that meaningful connections and clear communication are essential to building bridges between the organization and the individual.

In today’s digital world, creating an excellent financial wellness experience includes staying on top of rapidly changing technology and taking a people-centric approach to designing programs. I strongly believe in gathering as much input as possible from participants in a training to gain a deep understanding of their needs, which in turn guides design of the user experience at every touchpoint.

My BA in Journalism from California State University, Business Management training, and experience as an event photographer have taught me the importance of ensuring a positive user experience at each stage of a financial wellness program – before, during, and after the program concludes.

I am honored and delighted to be selected to serve on the Ohio Financial Educators Council’s Advisory Board. As a contributing member, I hope to apply my knowledge and expertise to make a difference among Ohio communities and families. I look forward to this opportunity.
