What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a role where I can lead omnichannel paid strategies, collaborate cross-functionally, scale budgets responsibly, and drive measurable growth and creative optimization.

I am a Paid Media Manager with five years of experience building full-funnel, omnichannel growth strategies across paid social, search, and programmatic, managing media budgets up to $300M and delivering measurable ROI and brand impact.

I specialize in blending creativity with analytics to optimize creative mix, audience strategies, and budget allocation—leading initiatives that produced a 200% YoY lift in conversions, 2–4X ROAS week-over-week in peak periods, and significant reductions in CPA while scaling spend.

I partner closely with creative, influencer, product, and analytics teams to unify organic and paid strategies, implement robust tracking and dashboards, and launch scalable campaign workflows that improve decision-making and drive revenue growth.
