who I am: online marketer & interactive strategist

I have over a decade of ideas and experience in the online space, at media web sites, for national content providers, at nonprofits, and interactive agencies.

I draw on web best practices to help small organizations and Fortune 100 companies alike determine how to improve their online user experience, position themselves better, tell their story more effectively to their audience, and make more money. I help you determine what your goals are, and the strategy to reach them, using interactive channels for marketing and advertising.

I serve as the online marketing engagement lead, driving the strategy for leveraging multiple marketing channels — PPC, organic search optimization, search marketing, social media and more — to meet client goals, whether it's to increase traffic, increase sales, or both.
