About

As organic search professional, I partner with founders and marketing leaders to define and implement organic growth strategies. I've spent the last 10 years growing organic traffic, optimizing websites, and turning web visitors into customers.

I pride myself on delivering high-quality content that will convert your web visitors into happy users, clients, or customers. I'm focused on more than quick wins — I like creating scalable and effective strategies that will continue to drive organic growth over the long-term.

In my free time, I can be found learning to design and develop web sites and full stack apps using Next.js (React), Tailwind CSS, TypeScript, and PostgreSQL.
