Marketing Consultant
My Story
I build customer acquisition systems that connect strategy, storytelling, and data. My work helps organizations understand what drives growth, identify where performance is being lost, and turn marketing insights into measurable results.
Read More...
My career began at the intersection of creativity, strategy, and problem-solving. Early on, I became interested not only in how marketing captures attention, but in what happens next: how people discover a business, what influences their decisions, where they leave the customer journey, and what ultimately moves them to act.
Over the past decade, I have worked across digital analytics, SaaS, agency environments, and consulting. My experience spans growth marketing, customer acquisition, SEO, paid media, content strategy, website optimization, and marketing measurement. Although the channels have varied, my focus has remained consistent: building sustainable marketing systems that turn audience interest into measurable business growth.
My foundation in digital analytics continues to shape how I approach every project. I have worked with marketing teams to implement tracking frameworks, analyze campaign and customer behavior, develop performance dashboards, and translate complex data into clear recommendations. That experience taught me to look beyond surface-level metrics and focus on what is actually driving acquisition, conversion, and retention.
As my career evolved, I combined that analytical foundation with broader growth strategy and execution. I have developed SEO and content programs, supported paid acquisition, improved website conversion paths, coordinated cross-channel campaigns, and helped organizations identify which opportunities deserve further investment. My work has increased organic traffic, improved conversion rates, strengthened lead generation, and supported millions of dollars in closed-won revenue.
Today, I bring together the analytical and creative sides of marketing. I help organizations understand how customers discover, evaluate, and engage with their businesses, then build strategies that make those journeys more effective.
At its core, my work is about turning marketing data into smarter decisions and building customer acquisition systems that support sustainable growth.

BreWingZ
BreWingZ is a sports bar and chicken wing restaurant with locations throughout the Greater Houston Area. I worked alongside their corporate marketing department to develop their social media calendars. They would send over the post content, and I would develop the copy, social strategy, keywords and hashtags. I developed brand engagement guidelines to streamline this process and ensure that all content created was on brand. Our graphic designer developed the images. Additionally, I would monitor analytics and create monthly digital reports to send to the client – further fine-tuning the marketing strategy per analytics data.
With their social media strategy, we focused on sporting events and their variety of sauces and specialty cocktails. As is the case with restaurants, it’s fast-paced and requires social monitoring and upkeep with memes and the like. I would offer suggestions to the company for posts based on sporting events and pop culture memes that were relevant.
I had a large paid social budget that was based on my suggestions for the posts to boost. I would allocate based off of how each post did, and specific events and specials. The posts highlighted in yellow were the paid social ads.

Dr. Navin Subramanian
Dr. Navin Subramanian is a spinal surgeon located in Houston, Texas. He operates his own private practice as well as affiliations with multiple hospitals in the Houston Medical Center. Needless to say, he’s a busy man and wanted a very “hands-off” approach with his social media strategy.
His target audience is athletes and the 50+ age group. As such, I based his strategy off of wellness tips and spine health. Often, spinal patients who are at the point of needing surgery have had diminishing quality of life due to their pain – I wanted to highlight that under Dr. Subramanian’s care, they can gain that quality of life back. These tips also applied to those who were contemplating the surgery, had recently had it, or were working with physical therapists. These #WellnessWednesdays ended up being his highest engagement posts.
I created all of the copy and images for the account, monitored Analytics, and conducted keyword research. In addition to the organic social media posts, I had a paid social budget that I would allocate based off of how each post did. The posts highlighted in yellow were the paid social ads.

Ecoer
Ecoer is a B2B HVAC equipment distributor with headquarters in Fairfax, Virginia. They develop and distribute their own AI and “Smart” IoT HVAC technology, serving HVAC companies in the U.S. and Canada, with additional offices in China and Japan. Their target audience was HVAC companies, and they offered a distributor program with resources for their vendors. Primarily, they wanted to show that Green Energy is accessible and affordable and will entice homeowners to use the services of their vendors.
With their social media strategy, I focused on the elements of the technology specifically to appeal to the HVAC companies – without getting too technical, or it would be too niche. I wanted to give the HVAC companies a sales pitch to give their customers, and further entice them with the distributor program perks. I started doing weekly “Vendor Spotlights” to encourage engagement and re-shares, which culminated into more distributor program signups.
I created all of the copy and images for the account, monitored Analytics, wrote blogs and published to syndication networks, and conducted keyword research. In addition to the organic social media posts, I had a paid social budget that I would allocate based off of how each post did. The posts highlighted in yellow were the paid social ads.

Frio Beer
Frio Beer is a light beer (also owned by Texas Crown Club Whisky‘s parent company) that was brand new when we started. We developed the marketing strategy and branding. I collaborated on this account with an intern and my mentee. We would have weekly meetings with the client to discuss ideas and develop the branding. The target audience was Gen-Z and college students, as well as dietary conscious drinkers – as it was a keto-friendly beer. The overall attitude of the brand was very youthful and laid-back.
We worked alongside influencers to create posts and re-shares for marketing collateral and focused most of our efforts on Instagram. My mentee created the social media posts, images, and Ad copy with my guidance. I wrote the blogs and published to syndication networks, developed the branding, monitored Analytics, and conducted keyword research.
Their blog happened around the time of baseball season, so I wanted to incorporate elements of that into the post. I planned for my topics based on long-tail keywords that I would pull from Google Search Console, Google Ads Keyword Planner, and aggregate data trends depending on the topics that did best in their organic and paid social media marketing posts.

Texas Crown Club Whisky
Texas Crown Club Whisky is a Texan-owned, Canadian whisky that was my first account – my “baby”. I loved working with the brand and helping them develop their brand new social media strategy. We would have weekly meetings with the client to discuss ideas and develop the branding, marketing campaigns, and more. The target audience was millennials, and the overall attitude of the brand was very raunchy and sarcastic. The Texan theme was prevalent in the posts, as well as drink recipes, and general witty sarcasm.
We worked alongside influencers to create #ThirstyThursday posts and re-shares for marketing collateral, and I created #WhiskyWednesdays whisky drink recipes. In addition to the organic and paid social media marketing, I created all of the copy and images for the account, filmed and developed drink recipe videos, created drink and food recipes, wrote blogs and published to syndication networks, monitored Analytics, and conducted keyword research.
For their blogging strategy they let me decide on the topics, and wanted two blogs per month. I planned for my topics based on keyword research and competitive analysis.

MixxTape Radio
MixxTape Radio is a local Portland rapper who commissioned us for a WordPress website design to promote his music and merchandise. This was a project that I took the lead on, and it was my first attempt at a dark-themed website. It also was my first time working with Adobe PhotoShop. The client provided next to no assets, so most of the information was pulled from what we could find online about him. He wanted as many parallax images as possible, along with a WooCommerce store. He provided a few pictures, and the challenge was adapting the few existing assets we had to work for the website. My team helped me create the more complicated elements of design in PhotoShop, and we collaborated on overall look. The website is currently not finished, but will be pointing to mixxtaperadio.com.

Atrium West
Atrium West is a high-end office rental space in Tigard, OR. The client was wanting to sell the space, so the website needed to marry the appeal to seller and to tenant. The biggest challenge was finding a way for tenants to book the conference room online without bothering the building owner throughout the process for approving bookings. He is a real-estate mogul, and wanted a very low-maintenance website. I wrote most of the copy and assisted my team with the overall design.

They were doing a complete rebuild of their e-Commerce structured website, and I had to bid against several other web design firms for the job.

In addition to the site design, Metalbound did a a full organic SEO strategy, which was a challenge given the adult content and censorship, and requires creativity with keywords and writing.
