📍 Los Angeles + Washington, DC based If you want fast content with minimal thought, follow-through, or commitment, I’m not your person. If you want a strategic partner who invests real time into understanding your brand, builds systems that actually work, and executes with intention, keep reading. I don’t take on turn-and-burn projects. I don’t work with brands that “trust the vision” and abandon ship before execution or an editing round. I reserve my time and bandwidth for clients who are ready to trust the process and allow me to execute on clearly defined deliverables. This is not a fit if you’re expecting unrealistic timelines, shortcuts, or results. If you’re ready now, I’m your girl, unless otherwise stated. If you’re just exploring what’s out there and plan to be “ready in a few months,” I’m not your person. I’m dedicated to the projects I take on, and when I commit, I pause actively seeking new work to ensure focus, alignment, and execution. I work hands-on. I don’t outsource overseas. I don’t pass clients off to subcontractors. I partner with a limited number of brands at a time because quality, momentum, and results require attention. 💻 I’ve led social media and content strategy for brands including Anne Klein, Henry Rose, Algenist, PopChips, and Vesta Homes, and supported campaigns and launches for FailArmy, People Are Awesome, and Prime Video. 📈 With over a decade of experience in digital marketing, I specialize in platform growth, storytelling, content production, and strategy across consumer brands, lifestyle companies, entertainment, and founder-led businesses. If you’re serious about growing your brand and want a partner who brings clarity, structure, and intention to the process, we’ll work well together.

I have had a wide range of social media experience, from creating detailed monthly and weekly social media analytics reports using metrics pulled from Meltwater, to managing and writing content for multiple hospital Facebook accounts for Johns Hopkins Medicine. Most all of my positions have been involved with managing social media campaigns or accounts as well as monitoring social media comments that need public relations attention. I have implemented Twitter campaigns, Facebook boosts, spearheaded Instagram accounts and curated content for organizations on LinkedIn. I relish creating a voice for a social media account that reflects the company it is representing. I enjoy maintaining that voice with carefully chosen language and curated images, gifs, videos and info-graphics with consistent style. At my position as a Marketing Assistant at Buchbinder Tunick & Company, I managed the functionality and content of the website and blog. I managed a social media posting schedule as well as a newsletter posting schedule. I curated content for Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn as well as created my own original posts. I adhered to standards and policies for content for the firm and applied current social media and communications strategies to the owned properties like the website and the social media accounts. I created complex monthly marketing reports using Google Analytics and put them into a readable format to serve as a resource for the partners. I also visually represented then analyzed this data to inform future campaigns. I helped coordinate the printing of partner’s website bios, updated and posted blogs on the website, as well as managed webinars and newsletter campaigns. Another part of my job was the coordinating and producing our newsletter using Constant Contact and tracking opens and clicks.

I build AI agents and automations that run real business operations: CRM sync and migration, lead routing, document and presentation automation, and internal tools that keep working at 2am. Top Rated Plus | 100% Job Success | $100K+ earned | 1,700+ hours on Upwork. Most AI automation freelancers learned the tools last year. I've been a professional programmer since 2012; I shipped commercial video games as a lead programmer before moving into automation. I've spent the last five years building the integration layer: APIs, webhooks, databases, and workflows across platforms like Make (certified partner since the Integromat days), Zapier, n8n, Knack, and Airtable. That's why my AI builds hold up; an AI agent is only as reliable as the systems it's wired into. I also know when NOT to use AI. I scope AI to what your business actually needs: fewer failure points, lower token costs, and systems that keep running. WHAT I BUILD AI agents and agentic workflows in n8n and Make: inbox triage, lead routing, and processes that run across many steps with human approval checkpoints. AI chatbots grounded in your data (RAG) on OpenAI (GPT) and Anthropic (Claude). Workflow automation and API integration: Make, Zapier, n8n, plus HubSpot, Airtable, Knack, ConnectWise, Monday, Google Workspace, and anything with an API. Custom business apps and databases on low code platforms: Knack, Airtable, WeWeb, Bubble. Automation rescue: auditing and fixing brittle setups, then migrating legacy workflows onto an architecture built for AI. Recent work includes a CRM sync between HubSpot and Airtable, a CRM migration from Zoho to Knack, a seven page web application built in WeWeb and Airtable, and a presentation automation system I've supported across 280+ hours for a single client. I'm an automations engineer with Automaton, a Top Rated Plus agency (100% Job Success, $400K+ earned since 2019), so projects that need more hands can scale without changing teams. Every engagement starts with a process audit: I map your workflow, identify what AI can safely own, what should be handled by traditional automations instead, and where a human should stay in the loop, and quote a fixed scope. Most clients have their first automation live within a week.
