    As an official Google Partner, I specialize in digital marketing strategy founded in data tracking and analysis. Whether you're looking for marketing strategy to scale your business, Google Ad support/management, or GA4 development, you've come to the right place. Google Analytics 4 is a powerful tool to understand user behavior, website opportunities, and conversions. Without a clear understanding of your data, it's difficult to plan your next steps. Paid ad strategies, organic marketing, CRM setup and best practices, email marketing, social media, and content development are just a few areas we will work on. Your business is unique and I'll create a custom plan to get you to the next step or walk alongside you for a longer time period. During 10+ years working at the executive level, I managed operations for a multi-million dollar budget non-profit, including accounting, risk management, systems and processes for 50+ staff and multiple locations. I also crafted digital content strategies on multiple social platforms, created email automations for a range of campaigns and audiences, and managed business development projects. I have a bachelors degree in management & marketing and many years of experience backing up my expertise. I'm also obtaining a certificate in UX Design and working toward becoming a certified Google Partner. Let's take your business to the next level!
