I'm a digital marketer who blends paid media, SEO, and content into campaigns that actually move the needle — and I'm looking for a team that wants to grow.

01About

Strategy first, spend second.

Focus areas

  • Paid social & search (Meta, Google)
  • SEO & content strategy
  • Marketing analytics & attribution
  • Email & lifecycle marketing

I'm a digital marketer who's spent the last five years living inside ad accounts, analytics dashboards, and content calendars — turning a fixed budget into a predictable stream of customers.

A campaign that gets impressions but no conversions is just expensive noise. I optimize for the metric that actually pays the bills, not the one that looks good in a deck.

02How I Work

One funnel. Every campaign.

Research
Strategy
Launch

01Research

Audience, competitors, and the channels where your customer already spends time.

02Strategy

A channel mix and content plan built around one number: the metric that matters.

03Launch

Campaigns go live with tracking and attribution wired in from day one.

04Optimize

Weekly testing and reallocation toward whatever is actually converting.

03Campaigns

Results, not just reach.

Tilt a card — every campaign here was measured against a number that mattered to the business.
