What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my SEO expertise while fostering collaboration and innovation in a dynamic team environment.

I am a tenacious and dependable SEO Manager with over four years of experience in digital marketing. My journey began with a degree in English Language and Linguistics, which has equipped me with the skills to craft compelling content that resonates with audiences. I currently oversee SEO campaigns for over 40 clients, managing everything from content creation to technical fixes, and I take pride in formulating bespoke strategies that drive results. My passion for writing, both creatively and professionally, fuels my commitment to delivering high-quality, SEO-focused content that enhances site authority and boosts organic traffic.

Throughout my career, I have achieved significant milestones, such as increasing a personal finance client's traffic by 10x and transforming a local interior design company's authority score. I thrive on building strong relationships with clients and colleagues, believing that collaboration is key to successful campaigns. My experience spans various industries, from local businesses to large-scale eCommerce stores, and I am dedicated to helping clients achieve their goals through effective SEO strategies.
