About Me

High conversion content strategy and SEO are my game. I'm ready to dig deep into your business, intimately learn your story, and tell your story in a way that inspires sales based on your 'why.'

Stories offer our society its most valuable digital commodity: information. I consider myself a story matchmaker; with all of the information available on the internet, entrepreneurs need help finding and addressing an audience that appreciates their unique value proposition. That's where I come in.

When small businesses successfully set measurable marketing goals, promote their message, create irresistible content, and track their success, they thrive. My job is to help businesses create foolproof marketing strategies and content that attracts new, qualified leads. I'm all about testing, improving, and optimizing every part of your organization, resulting in more traffic, more leads, and more sales.

I tackle projects relating to marketing strategy, search engine optimization, writing and editing, and paid advertising. I particularly love working with e-commerce brands.

My goal is to help you set a marketing foundation that delivers long-term ROI and allows you to grow into a marketing powerhouse. I have both corporate and freelance experience managing content for websites as large as 1mil pages and as small as 5; no matter the size of the project, I treat each client with the same respect and value.

With my extensive strategy, SEO, and content creation experience, I am devoted to helping you attract your audience and hold their attention with compelling content.
