I’m a SEO specialist who likes to wear many hats. I lead SEO marketing campaigns, manage development projects, conduct advanced keyword research, and design link-building strategies. Over the past years I’ve worked with two startup environments and sister companies focused on fitness and tennis, while also collaborating with clients in cleaning and real estate. I enjoy testing different approaches and seeing results first-hand, and I’m now seeking a SEO role that lets me contribute my expertise while continuing to grow. I’m passionate about turning data into growth and collaborating with cross-functional teams to drive visibility, traffic, and conversions. I’m excited to bring my diverse experience to a new role where I can apply strategic thinking, hands-on execution, and a collaborative mindset to help a company scale its online presence.
