About

I take social media accounts that are barely getting noticed and turn them into communities people actually care about. In two months, I grew Glory Days 4 on 4's social media by 900% in views and 700% in reach. Not because I got lucky with the algorithm but because I genuinely understand what makes people stop mid-scroll and actually engage. What I Do: I create social media strategies that deliver real growth. Content creation, community management, analytics, performance tracking, I handle it all. My sweet spot is taking accounts that are struggling and transforming them into spaces where engagement actually happens. My Approach: I stay curious about what's working in digital spaces right now. I watch the trends, test new ideas, and use data to figure out what's actually connecting with people. But I never forget that behind every like and comment is a real person. That's what makes communities feel genuine instead of manufactured. My Story: My journey started in high school when I won 1st place in a Global Marketing competition, that's when I first discovered I genuinely love creative storytelling. At Paul Mitchell the School, I led the Princess Party fundraiser that raised the most funds ($560), proving I could turn creative ideas into real results. Then I spent nearly three years at Stratco USA managing everything from administrative operations to social media, where I helped increase orders by 100%. Now I'm channeling all of that into helping brands grow their presence and build communities that feel authentic. What Gets Me Excited: I'm passionate about helping brands reach the people who actually need to hear their message. I believe social media should feel inclusive, joyful, and real, not like you're being sold to constantly. Let's Connect: If you're looking to grow your brand's social presence or just want to talk about what's actually working in social media right now, I'd love to hear from you.
