Growth Marketer with a performance marketing/data analytics background with a specific specialty in SEM (Google Ads/Bing Ads) that accumulates to 8 years of experience across dozens of brands.

I've been specializing in startup & growth phase Direct to Consumer (DTC) companies using Paid Media to drive conversions that meet CAC (or ROAS) goals based on customer LTV. I also specialize in companies looking to drive High-Intent leads in order to decrease CPS.

My career started when I launched & grew my own supplement brand. Now I work as a Sr. Growth Marketer managing the Google/Bing Ad suit (search, shopping, display, Youtube Ads, Performance max, discovery ads), Tik Tok Ads, Partnerships/Affiliate, Display Programmatic, Marketplaces (Amazon/Walmart Ads), Podcast Ads, SEO as a Performance Channel and other channels I am testing in 2023.

As a marketing geek with a deep knowledge in Paid Search (SEM) across Google Ads/Bing ads (search, shopping, display, YouTube Ads, performance max, discovery ads) I consult & run frequent audits on both a strategic and tactical level for DTC e-commerce startups & growth phase companies. Specifically, many of my clients have been within the Health (& Pet, Kids) categories so I am well versed in the challenges Health related companies face in Google Ads & other platforms.

I'm also open to taking on clients looking to scale their business via Tik Tok Ads with a proven track record of scaling $0-20k/mo (on & off) to >$100k/mo at goal CAC for a DTC Women's Health Brand in 4months.

My approach is data heavy & in the weeds. I like to over deliver & seek clients as passionate as I am to grow.
