I am a detailed oriented and energetic HR professional. My previous positions specialized in daily HR administration (onboarding, documentation, data entry, employee relations etc.), high volume recruiting, and payroll. Additionally, I am equipped with a background of 7 years in customer service working as a barista. Throughout my career I taught myself necessary skills to enhance my performance and knowledge. For example, I mastered Google Sheets/Excel formulas such as, COUNTIF, SUMIF, V-LOOKUP, customized conditional formatting, pivot tables, and more. I've also started exploring methods of applying AI and ML into my workflow. I'm excited for projects which continue to challenge my skills.

Every business wants to be the next success story, but only a few will get there. Since I was a kid, I enjoyed reading success stories. Perhaps, thatโ€™s what influenced the decision to become one, one day. Unfortunately, there was an issue that I faced at a pretty early age โ€“ it seemed like I didnโ€™t have the โ€œentrepreneur geneโ€ inside meโ€ฆ I wasnโ€™t born in the startup/business world and didnโ€™t have role models to follow in my life, so in order to invent my own success story, I needed to reinvent myself๐Ÿ™‚. I figured that the right place to start would be with developing sales skills โ€“ regardless of how great your idea/product/service is, it's worth nothing if you canโ€™t sell it. So, I decided to surround myself with entrepreneurs โ€“ I knew that there was a good chance to become an entrepreneur if I am surrounded by them. Thatโ€™s why I moved to Silicon Valley and started helping startups and businesses with business development. Pretty soon, I noticed that they all faced the same challenge - regardless of business size or stage, they needed the right digital marketing strategy and execution plan in order to grow faster. Thatโ€™s how I got into Facebook Ads and Digital Marketing. Since then, Iโ€™ve successfully spent (PLEASE CHECK THE PORTFOLIO SECTION BELOW) around 25 million dollars advertising for different brands, starting with local businesses and finishing with big brands like Golden State Warriors, TiVo, and Adobe. The NUMBER ONE reason why you would hire me is that you want to grow your business. I am straight forward with what you can expect - my ultimate goal is not to set up the best Facebook or Google ads, but to generate results for your business. As a business owner myself, I know what it takes to grow a brand online. Apart from having my own clients, I also provide services for other agencies and thus I have a wide range of experience with marketing different types of products and services. MY AREAS OF DIGITAL MARKETING EXPERTISE INCLUDE: โœ… Facebook & Instagram Ads โœ… Google Ads (Shopping, Search, Display, YouTube, Remarketing) โœ… LinkedIn Ads โœ… Twitter Ads โœ… ChatBots marketing โœ… Click Funnels โœ… Email Marketing HOW CAN I HELP: 1. Everything from start to finish: Design, Build, Manage and Optimize the entire Social Media Advertising process for you and your team. What will you get: โœ… Best possible service โ€“ clean and well-organized work process โœ… In-depth campaigns analysis and growth strategy โœ… Proper Tracking implementation โœ… Funnel tailored to your business needs โœ… Permanent monitoring and optimization of the campaigns โœ… Email support โœ… Weekly reports โœ… Strategy calls โœ… Detailed recommendations on overall funnel improvement 2. Consulting. If you are running ads, there's a chance that a few simple tweaks to your campaigns could have a huge impact that completely changes the game. We'll jump on a screen share call and work on your campaigns together: โœ… Weโ€™ll dive into your campaigns to evaluate ad performance, identifying areas you can improve so you can generate a better return from your ads โœ… Work together on your Facebook/Instagram advertising strategy, so you don't waste any more money on campaigns that will never work โœ… You can 'pick my brain' on anything to do with Facebook, advertising, etc. โœ… Work together on building your first campaign, so you know you're getting off to the best start and giving yourself the best chance of success Now, my service is not for everyone. If you have unrealistic expectations of Facebook, Instagram or Google ads, or want me to build your business for you โ€“ I canโ€™t help. Digital Marketing is just a part of what it takes in order for your business to succeed. I canโ€™t guarantee weโ€™ll be a fit, but I can guarantee you wonโ€™t regret reaching out and having a short chat with me - youโ€™ll probably get some free learnings too. Feel free to contact me with any questions.
