I am a passionate leader and technology educator skilled at taking complicated technical terms and making them easily understandable in the realms of SEO, Social Media, WordPress, Digital Marketing Campaigns, and Project Management.

For the past two decades, I've been working with teams to make websites better, faster, and more effective. I also enjoy running crowdfunding campaigns, helping non-profits shine online, producing online content that generates traffic, and traveling.

I’m a Freelance Digital Manager, WordPress Developer, Content Creator, SEO Strategist, and Crowdfunding & Social Media Consultant.

Always Learning, 🏳️‍🌈
