Working with me means your workflows get structured, your funnels convert, and you have the bandwidth to pursue new business. I cover strategy, delegation, and operations for you; including nurture workflows for email and sms, martech stack from Ai and creation to automation, onboarding frameworks, project management, and event planning. Are you funnels underperforming? I will find the leaks where your leads are exiting and build the attribution framework so we know where, why, and how to fix it.
I specialize in marketing and operations support for digital creatives, SaaS founders, and home service providers that are done winging it. I combine my skill of pattern recognition with a deep understanding of principles and best practices; so I see where your systems are breaking down, where your digital funnels are leaking traffic, and how you can save time by un-complicating a process that works best when kept flexible . The difference between effort that checks a box on a long list of "marketing tasks" and activity that actually bring in leads or improves process time or boost engagement is simplicity. Marketing is most effective when it feels natural and the processes that run them need to mirror that energy. If you want your campaigns to be effective, use systems and create processes that allow for pivoting from market feedback as well space for innovation as the brand changes with time.
Available for retainer partnerships or project sprints.

Over the past 10+ years I’ve created video content for organizations like Comcast, AT&T, Wells Fargo, Johnson & Johnson, TikTok, and the Philadelphia Eagles, along with startups, nonprofits, and local businesses that need strong visual storytelling.
