I was the kid in elementary school renting out pencils for $0.10 because I'd spotted a shortage in the market. Some habits stick. I bring nearly two decades of marketing experience across industries, from startups to Fortune 1000 companies. That range has shaped a skill set that's hard for competitors to match. I don't just execute marketing, I read the room. With a BA in Organizational Psychology and an MS in Digital Marketing, I bring a genuine understanding of buyer and consumer behavior to every strategy. Thus, I start with why before I ever get to what. That order of operations has helped many clients see fast, meaningful growth. I work across the full marketing lifecycle, PPC, SEO, content, email, and creative strategy, owning the entire consumer journey. I work alongside your team, not just handing off a deck and disappearing. Chances are there's a gap in your current marketing strategy that hasn't been identified yet. I'd like the opportunity to find it and help you fix it. If I don't find anything worth improving, you owe me nothing. Always open to new collaborations, feel free to reach out.
