About Me

I LOVE ALL THINGS DIGITAL

Ever since I was a kid, digital media and technology has fascinated me. Growing up during the infancy of the mainstream internet has enabled me to naturally adapt to the constant changes that platforms and technologies experience with each passing year. Now, as a business professional working in digital marketing and accounts management, I’ve developed an expertise in many aspects of the industry, specializing in these three areas:

Digital Marketing

From social media and creative strategies to omnichannel, direct-response paid media campaigns, I’ve been a key player in the digital thinking behind brands and projects spanning numerous industry verticals.

Client Success

As a digital agency account director, maintaining and building client relationships has been key to my professional success. As a day-to-day point of contact, clients know that they can rely on me to act quickly and provide smart insights that make their jobs easier.

E-commerce

How do you bridge the gap between brand awareness and purchase intent within the mind of a consumer? This is the question I’ve sought to answer for the startups and experienced retailers I’ve worked with to launch, optimize, and maintain e-commerce stores that drive sales.

Skills

My Skillset is Multi-faceted

Starting my career at a bespoke digital agency, I’ve had the opportunity to get direct, hands-on experience in all aspects of digital marketing.

I’m no stranger to wearing multiple hats.

Jack of all trades, master of none, right? Wrong. Getting experience outside of my core job roles has given me the ability to think big picture in terms of the ideation, execution, and performance of digital marketing efforts. Whether its figuring out the best channel to drive a certain action, developing the landing page or creative assets, or doing a deep-dive analysis on optimization of paid media, my hands-on experience and technical skills enable me to jump right in at any point in the lifecycle of a project to ensure results.
