I have worked as a customer/technical support for US-Based telecommunications company for a few years providing phone support to customers with phone, cable and internet issues. After a few years working as a call center agent, I applied for jobs online and started with small fixed-rate contracts in Upwork. I have worked as a data entry specialist, social media manager, virtual assistant, and cold-caller and have excellent feedback from my previous employers. I have used different tools (CRM, WordPress, VPN tools, Canva, Trello, Later, Tailwind, Hootsuite, Slack, Amazon Vendor Central, ShipStation, Keepa, Helium 10, etc.) depending on the task, and I am proficient with Google Workspace and Microsoft Office. I am a visual learner and I can quickly learn new tools just by watching tutorial videos and presentations. I work fast and keen to details and I can easily adjust to new work environment and can work even without supervision.

I'm a brand growth specialist and content strategist with 9+ years of hands-on experience building, scaling, and exiting consumer brands, including two businesses I founded and sold. I work with ecommerce and service-based businesses to grow their online presence through content that actually converts. That means social media strategy and management, UGC creation, short-form video scripting and editing, email marketing via Klaviyo, and Shopify store builds, all under one roof. I've managed full-scale social media accounts across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube Shorts, and Facebook, producing everything from carousels and reels to scripted UGC videos for brands in tech, fashion, luxury ecommerce, and medical education. I understand how to build content ecosystems that support the full customer journey, not just one-off posts. On the email side, I've built and managed Klaviyo flows end-to-end covering welcome sequences, abandoned cart, post-purchase, and re-engagement, with a focus on design that feels on-brand and not generic. What makes me different is that I've been the founder, the marketer, and the operator at the same time. I know what it actually takes to grow a brand from zero, which means I bring strategic thinking to every execution decision. Based in New Zealand. Available for ongoing retainers and project-based work.
