About
I help meaningful ideas find their people through thoughtful content, strategy, and storytelling. ⭐️ I’ve been in the digital world for 10 years working on diverse projects ranging from podcast hosting and promotion, content creation, UGC, social media management and strategy, freelance writing, and time spent as a Director of Marketing. The invisible string through it all? Sharing stories that matter with clarity, creativity, and authenticity. ➡️ Results I’ve driven: ● Doubled a client's website traffic in the first month working together through SEO updates and blog writing ● Created UGC videos for a jewelry brand that brought in 4.6X what she spent on paid ads that month ● Created Instagram content that drove sales and brand awareness for CPG brands Interested in working together?
