7 yrs experience · Toronto, ON · 30-40 hrs/week
About
I’m a data-driven growth marketer and problem-solver based in Toronto, passionate about turning insights into results. From scaling paid media and e‑commerce stores to nurturing thriving web3 and SaaS communities, I’ve helped startups boost engagement and ROI. When I’m not diving into campaign analytics or optimizing ad strategies, I love exploring Toronto’s food scene and tinkering with side‑projects in Swift and C#.
