P R O F I L E

During my career in digital marketing, I have had the opportunity to experience the trenches and triumphs of working for a full- service marketing agency. I have also experienced the challenges and successes of working for one of the largest media publishing websites to date. Some of my roles have including everything from simple link building, to managing individuals and programs to drive extensive organic traffic. With my skill set, experience, passion, and genuine appreciation for new ideas in the realm of digital marketing, I strive to motivate, excite, and encourage others to adapt to the ebbs and flows of this ever-changing industry.
