About Me
Hi, I’m Shawna! As an avid mobile zero-based budgeter (shout out YNAB), I’m passionate about digital tools that help everyday people actively manage their money. I love seeing how these tools enable users to make small steps that turn into big milestones on their personal finance journeys.
In my work as a Data Analyst and Project Manager for the UF AIS Consulting Committee, I felt a natural pull toward the big-picture mindset and developed my appetite for aligning teams under a shared vision. As an NFCU Branch Ops Sr Business Intelligence Analyst, I discovered my knack for guiding decision-making among cross functional teams & communicating with both empathy and tact.
I am eager to enter the digital user experience space to help shape and deliver intuitive solutions that make managing money fun and easy.
