I spent six years in the Grocery Retail industry helping billion-dollar companies build their brands and now I want to help smaller brands and businesses do the same. My experience starting from an analytical role, growing to marketing planning and execution, to working my way up to high-level strategic roles presenting to C-Suites allows me to see business problems from multiple angles. I can see high-level trends, quickly understand data, and see solutions through to the execution level. My favorite work includes building out long-term strategic business and marketing plans. These plans have the ability to drive sales growth within a company by focusing efforts, prioritizing initiatives, and breaking down big goals into bite-size steps. I also have experience building and executing social media marketing plans. I have a business & marketing degree from Cornell University and recently received three marketing certifications through their e-Cornell platform (Marketing Strategy, Data-Driven Marketing, and Digital Marketing). Yes, I'm a total marketing nerd and have been my whole life. I've been admiring and analyzing commercials since I was a kid.

I'm not here to just "clock in" and get paid. I'm here for results. I've heard so many horror stories from my clients about UpWork consultants disappearing, not completing jobs, or just not having the knowledge they claim to have. Everyone and their cousins seem to be in digital marketing these days but what kind of RESULTS have they gotten? I will not work with you if I don't think I can deliver results. Anyways, a bit about me... I'm extremely well-rounded when it comes to internet marketing. My skill set allows me to see the big picture and dive in on the most effective strategy for your business to grow. I specialize in Overall Marketing Strategy, Facebook ads, ClickFunnels, E-Commerce Advertising (Shopify), and Lead Generation. This seems like a lot, yes, but working with so many different types of businesses and using so many tools over the years has allowed me to understand what matters the most - a congruent overall digital marketing strategy. About my business experience: Over 7 Years of experience as a full-time internet marketer. Over $5,000,000 worth of Facebook and Youtube Advertising budget under my belt. I've managed Facebook ads for everyone from e-commerce start-ups and wedding photographers to relationship therapists and big pharma companies like Pfizer and Abbott.
