What I'm looking for

I'm looking to grow audiences, leads, and conversions through paid media, analytics, content, and conversion-focused web experiences.

I built Vacanday from launch to 10K+ Instagram followers and 3,000+ customer inquiries in 12 months through short-form content, creator partnerships, organic campaigns, and conversion-focused landing pages.

I design and optimize measurable digital campaigns using Google Ads, Meta Ads, GA4, Looker Studio, UTM tracking, A/B testing, and on-page SEO. I also built Vacanday’s WordPress website and automated inquiry-routing workflows to support lead generation.

Across 50+ freelance WordPress, Shopify, and Wix websites, I improved usability, SEO, performance, messaging, and calls-to-action, raising average Lighthouse scores by 22 points. I’ve also led event marketing teams and campaigns that increased attendance, fundraising, and Instagram reach.
