A creative at heart

I'm from Sausalito, California and ever since I was a kid I was obsessed with creativity. My parents would buy be drawing pads and I'd create Star Wars and GI-Joe's battle scenes. 

In school, I became fascinated with how my dad used to write. He'd edit my homework essays. He was meticulous and a master of the written word. My dad inspired me to write more and to continue nurturing this skill.  

Fast forward to today, I've been writing a personal blog for eight years and a travel newsletter for one year. My enjoyment of drawing evolved to an enjoyment for visual design. I am currently enrolled in a Graphic Design associate's program at College of Marin. I also paint clay pots and coffee mugs as a side hustle. 

My professional background 

I graduated from the University of Montana in 2009 with a Bachelor of Science in Marketing. 

However, rather than begin my digital marketing career, I decided to follow my other passion: 

To see the world. 

Since 2009, I've traveled to over 30 countries across six continents. I've lived in Spain, New Zealand, Peru, and Colombia. I taught English as a Second Language for three years in Murcia, Spain (2014-2018). (Can you spot the famous tennis player?)

When I wasn't traveling or teaching English overseas, I worked in bars and restaurants. I served and worked alongside people from many different walks of life. 

These combined experiences gave me something important:

Patience, empathy, respect, and compassion for others.

I use these four traits as a digital marketing professional. 

They helped me when I worked as a social media manager for the first time in 2014 and 2015. I created two successful accounts: One for Cellar Door, a wine bar in San Francisco, and another for Wellingtons Wine Bar in Sausalito. 

Both businesses closed after I left, but their impact on me still holds true to this day.

I had other marketing side jobs over the years, but things really took off during the pandemic. In 2021, I was hired as a media specialist for the County of Marin's COVID-19 communication's team. Here my design, copywriting, and marketing skills took off.

Since then, I've created an independent business helping clients with their digital marketing needs. Whether it's graphic design, , writing, or social media, I am here to help take your dream off the ground.

Why hire me as your next digital marketing expert? 

I have experience, skills, and most importantly I CARE.

I'm responsible, reliable, and trustworthy. Plus, I'm always trying to improve my skills. 

I do my best to use the same principals for all my clients:

Patience, respect, empathy, and compassion.

Would you rather work with a marketing professional who only wants to take your money, or someone who also cares?

You're hiring a professional who is always learning

Besides my marketing degree, I'm also constantly leveling-up my knowledge. The industry is constantly evolving, so I am constantly learning. I study YouTube, practice, and look for opportunities to develop stronger skills:
