What I'm looking for

I'm looking for global remote or relocation opportunities where I can build AI-powered content systems, lead social and creative campaigns, improve audience growth, and combine fast experimentation with strong human judgment and brand fit.

I've grown an aerial yoga community of 10,000+ members at Pancha Koshas Retreat through organic social content, community engagement, clear brand messaging, and teacher-training campaigns for national and international audiences.

At Microclasses, I planned digital marketing strategies to improve visibility, engagement, and lead generation. I also improved website structure and UX, managed Instagram campaigns, and built lead magnet strategy to support conversion.

I've directed short-form content for the Teach Me Real Estate Investing Podcast, turning long-form episodes into Reels and YouTube Shorts while guiding editors on hooks, pacing, captions, B-roll, and final quality. My YouTube optimization work helped grow the channel to 1,000 subscribers.

I combine generative AI, agentic workflows, and human creative judgment to research, script, prototype, and deliver publish-ready content systems. I also built a cloud-hosted Hermes Agent job-discovery workflow on Azure with automated company scans, fit scoring, CSV tracking, and WhatsApp reporting.
