At FISGlobal, I manage the end-to-end backlog for OmniAdminWeb-NextGen and Admin Console configurations, translating business and customer needs into development-ready user stories and acceptance criteria. My work has improved story readiness, reduced requirement-related rework, and supported early defect identification through functional validation and UAT.

I've built seven years of experience across product ownership, business analysis, and US retirement services operations. I bring hands-on knowledge of defined contribution plans, financial reporting, Agile delivery, stakeholder collaboration, and process improvement.
