I’m a Senior UX Designer at Fidelity Investments, where I lead user experience initiatives within the Fidelity Institutional team. My focus is on optimizing complex web and mobile platforms to empower institutional clients with efficient, intuitive tools that support their day-to-day workflows.
With a B.S. in Psychology and an M.S. in Industrial Engineering from Virginia Tech—concentrating in Human-Centered Design—I bring both empathy and systems thinking to every challenge. I combine user empathy with systems-level thinking to lead design efforts that are both thoughtful and scalable. Grounded in real-world impact, I guide teams through strategic challenges, translating complexity into meaningful, measurable solutions—with a deep commitment to mentorship and collaborative growth.
I currently live in Cary, North Carolina, with my husband and our two dogs, Leo and Lola. Outside of work, you’ll find me listening to music, reading, hiking, gardening, traveling, crocheting, or gaming—always exploring, always learning.
