I am a legal content marketing specialist and former Sr. Paralegal with 18 years of experience in digital marketing strategy, brand messaging, writing, editing, and researching. I am an "ABA Journal" and Attorney at Work contributor who scaled a personal brand blog to 400 visitors/day, designed AI workflows that boosted daily word count by 75% while improving quality, and doubled traffic from an incoming blog source in just two weeks. Since 2021, I have been the Sr. Legal Content Writer & Strategist for Lexicon Legal Content and am currently earning my M.S. in Strategic Marketing. My career began in legal aid, coordinating a VAWA outreach campaign. Just out of college, I founded an industry-disrupting legal access startup that was voted "Best New Business." For my pre-law minor, I served as a volunteer document preparer at the San Bernardino Legal Aid Society and did an internship at my local District Attorney’s office. While working as a content marketing consultant, I was a top-rated speaker at business conferences around the country, earning standing ovations and speaker awards. For numerous publications, I also served as a marketing columnist covering topics like Pinterest strategy and content repurposing. To keep my “skills sword” sharp, I attended Social Media Marketing World, the world’s largest social media conference, for a decade. As a first-generation undergraduate, I earned my bachelor’s degree from the University of Redlands in just three years. I graduated with Sociology Departmental Honors and was selected to be the Department Chair’s Research Assistant. After being awarded a debate scholarship from the top competitive speaking program in the country at the time, I earned a key to the prestigious Phi Beta Kappa national honor society. Outside the classroom, I was a two-time NCAA All-American and conference champion who set meet, school, and conference records. More recently, I scored in the top 2% on the G.R.E.'s Analytical Writing section.
