15+ years in SEO, $1M+ earned on Upwork, Expert-Vetted (Top 1%). Ai & Programmatic SEO Expert. I help two types of businesses dominate organic search: eCommerce brands that are over-reliant on paid ads, and high-ticket local service businesses where one new client pays for a month of SEO. Both share the same blind spot: SEO isn't just Google anymore. Your customers are discovering products and services through ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews — and most SEO strategies ignore that entirely. For eCommerce (DTC, Shopify, BigCommerce, WooCommerce): You're spending $50K+/month on paid ads and organic is stuck at 10-15% of revenue. You've either never invested properly in SEO or you hired an agency that delivered reports instead of results. I build the organic engine that compounds while your ad costs keep climbing — and I optimize your product pages and content to get cited by LLMs, not just indexed by Google. For local service businesses (medspas, clinics, legal, luxury services): You're invisible in the local pack, your competitors have 30 location pages and you have zero, and your Google Business Profile is an afterthought. When someone asks Perplexity "best medspa in Scottsdale" or ChatGPT for a moving company recommendation, I make sure you're the answer. What I deliver: → SEO strategy tied to revenue — not vanity rankings reports → Technical SEO and site architecture — I build and fix sites directly on Shopify, WordPress, Webflow, and Next.js → AI search optimization — structured data, entity authority, and content architecture designed to get your brand cited across Google, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini → Content architecture that builds topical authority — whether that's 500 product pages or 30 city landing pages → Local SEO infrastructure — GBP optimization, programmatic location pages, schema hierarchy, review strategy → Link building — white-hat editorial placements that move the needle → Site migrations and redesigns without losing traffic — I implement directly, no waiting on your dev team Results: → Saranoni — #1 for "toddler blanket" competing against Amazon → EasySigns — +594% organic traffic in 12 months → Styylish — #1 for "Biedermeier Furniture," outranking Wikipedia → Neatly Moving — Built full local SEO infrastructure from zero: 30 location pages, schema markup, GBP optimization, route pages → Martha Stewart — Built the internal SEO team and strategy from scratch Tools: Ahrefs, SEMrush, Screaming Frog, GA4, Search Console Based in Boston. Send me your site URL and current traffic numbers — I'll tell you if I can help.

I'm an educator, learning designer, and innovator passionate about leveraging AI and technology to enhance classroom experiences and streamline school systems. With a background in mathematics education and instructional design, I've spent the past five years teaching middle school math in Title I schools across Brooklyn and Houston, witnessing firsthand the challenges and opportunities within education. Currently pursuing my Master's in Learning Design & Technology, I focus on bilingual education, AI-driven classroom management, and student-centered learning. My goal is to develop AI-driven tools that support teachers, reduce administrative burdens and create engaging, inclusive learning environments; especially for multilingual and underrepresented students. I believe the future of education lies in democratic school models, immersive learning experiences (AR/VR), and technology-driven solutions that prioritize human connection and student agency.

I am currently a Clinical Research Coordinator I (previously Data Entry Specialist) at Ora Inc. where my duties primarily consist of ensuring data logs, journals, and diaries are properly entered into the company database, addressing any queries that come from those records, and assisting with clinical trials via going over consent forms and medical history with new subjects and conducting basic eye exams. These studies mostly consist of testing the safety and efficacy of medical products such as eye drops to aid patients with dry eye and its symptoms.
