My father was a DJ when I was growing up. I first learned to read from memorizing album covers in his record collection.
I was held back in kindergarten for being left-handed thanks to my teacher’s outdated belief that lefties had a learning disability. I’m still left-handed.
I am a big fan of the theater, especially improv comedy and show tunes.


I develop data-driven strategies to pinpoint the best opportunities to increase my client’s website’s online visibility. By leveraging content strategy, keyword research, and technical analysis, I aim to achieve measurable results that surpass my clients’ goals.

I love traveling to see one of my favorite bands: Phish, Ween and Joe Russo’s Almost Dead or hanging out in my backyard by the fire pit and pool with my friends and German Shepherd, Ivan.
