With 15+ years of administrative and customer service experience, I have impeccable research efficiency, organization, time management, and logical thinking skills. I'm proficient in most trending online office programs and tools. Professional communication is very important to me, as is the intention of developing a solid, trusting relationship with my clients. Writing and editing are both great pleasures, and with the advent of increasing use of artificial intelligence, I am staying current on both the impending integration of AI into our professional worlds, as well as the tools designed to promote and ensure original (human) writing takes precedence when needed. For clients using AI, a good editor will be needed regardless of the speed of AI evolution. Editing is a fine art, and very talented editors/writers will always be needed to compete with fully AI-written content. Social media content creation and management (including podcasts) cannot be both fully automated and successful. It's an ever-changing puzzle and requires human touch and attention. I'd love to help you engage and grow your audience!

I am a freelance social media manager & video editor based in Iowa but I help clients all over the world! I have been a social media manager for 5 years and was a virtual assistant before that. Most of my clients have been with me for a few years, as I've been able to get them amazing results and a return on their monthly investment. As I've scaled and have taken on new clients, I started to build my team that I trained myself and we have expanded our services from social media marketing to also include email marketing, landing pages, lead magnets, building courses, launches, and more! If you're overwhelmed with the knowledge, time, and effort it takes to grow and sell on social media, then I want to help you! I have helped several online service providers grow their social media following full of TARGETED audiences who then convert into sales. Additionally, I have planned several launch strategies resulting in $20k-$80k launches with strategic email marketing, content planning, and targeted messaging. How does it work? I research, script, plan, edit, and post all of your content for you (or as much as you'll let me) and all you have to do is dedicate 2-4 hours per month to film the content I plan for you. What are you waiting for? Let's chat!

Want to advance your business through Social Media but don't have the time or don't know how? If so, you aren’t alone. The problem that most business owners have with Social Media is not having enough time to post engaging and relevant content that can prevent them from targeting the right audience and reaching their business goals. This makes it difficult to reach the right demographic, especially if they have limited resources. Luckily, this is exactly what I do for clients. I help eCommerce businesses, fashion brands, and food businesses establish and promote their brand through Social Media so you can focus your time on other important aspects of your business, like product development or increasing profits. And unlike some "experts", I don't use a cookie-cutter approach… I learn about your business and your clients, and develop a Social Media Management strategy that will work for YOU. And if you need help in that department… Let's have a chat and get started. Now, if you’re still not 100% convinced this will be worth your investment, I understand. We could always start off with a small project with shared risk and then keep going if you're happy with my work. Chances are that you'll be more than happy. We can schedule a FREE consultation call. Looking forward to hearing from you!
