What I’ve Done

I have over 15 years of experience with both Agency and In-house SEO teams, as well as Copywriting and Content Design. I’ve worked alongside clients to deliver holistic marketing strategies that increase brand visibility, developing award-winning Organic Search campaigns for Fortune 500 companies, including those within the SaaS, pharmaceutical, telecom, health tech, and CPG verticals.

I currently manage owned and earned media that drives product development and award-winning campaigns for Deckers Brands (UGG, HOKA) and Unique Vacations (Sandals Resorts).

My industry experience ranges widely, or in some cases “wildly” - AI, Telecom, Activewear, Automotive, Pharmaceutical, Consumer Goods, Food & Beverage, Online Education, eRetail, Health & Wellness.
