Toronto University Graduate! I built my career in the California Bay Area startup scene, where speed, innovation, and storytelling make or break a brand. As a founding team member at Airlift, I helped scale operations and marketing during hypergrowth and was part of raising $110M in venture funding. That journey taught me what real brand growth looks like, fast-moving teams, smart content systems, and clear ROI.
Today, I work with startups, e-commerce brands, and SaaS companies worldwide as a Social Media and Growth Marketing Expert, helping them grow their digital presence, engage audiences, and convert attention into revenue. My focus is simple: build strategies that are creative enough to connect and technical enough to perform.
Over the last few years, I’ve helped brands like Verdent Skincare, Zen Living Canada, Big Moe’s Diner (USA), and Asset Avenue Capital (UK) achieve measurable growth through performance-focused social media systems.
Verdent Skincare scaled from zero to a consistent six-figure annual revenue within 12 months using a Meta Ads and influencer funnel strategy.
Zen Living Canada doubled inbound leads through a hybrid of SEO content and paid social.
Big Moe’s Diner saw a 4x engagement boost on TikTok and a 38% lift in local traffic through geo-targeted video campaigns.
Asset Avenue Capital increased B2B leads by 62% using LinkedIn and automated email workflows.
Here’s what clients often say:
“They don’t just grow our followers, they grow our business.”
“Every post has a purpose and a measurable outcome.”
“I finally have a marketing partner who thinks strategically.”
If you’re hiring a Social Media and Growth Marketing Expert on Upwork, here’s exactly what to expect working with me:
- Social Media Management: End-to-end Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and LinkedIn growth using trend-driven, data-informed strategies.
- Content Strategy and Creation: High-performing short-form video, carousels, and ad creatives that blend storytelling with analytics.
- Paid Ads and Campaign Optimization: Meta and Google Ads designed for ROI, retargeting, and conversion tracking.
- Audience Growth Systems: Organic reach building, influencer collaborations, and community management that actually drive results.
• Performance Reporting: Transparent analytics dashboards and actionable insights to show what’s working, and what isn’t.
Every brand I work with gets more than just posts or ads. You get a clear growth system built around your goals, voice, and audience. My approach combines creative direction with performance science, so your brand feels authentic while scaling efficiently.
If you’re a founder, startup team, or brand owner ready to transform your social media into a growth engine, let’s connect. I’ll help you find your voice, grow your audience, and turn engagement into conversions.
