Elevating brand narratives through the lens of social & influence
I am a social media marketer and influencer expert based in NYC. I have been immersed in the e-commerce and digital marketing space for about 8 years, working with CPG brands, direct-to-consumer start-ups, and media. I specialize in acquisition marketing, using my knowledge and experience in branding, data analytics, consumer behavior, and copywriting.
My experience runs the gamut—I've strategized social media campaigns and email marketing funnels for the launch of Fiber Fuled, stood up influencer marketing from the ground up for Kindred Group(resulting in significant acquisition in the first 90 days), pitched lucrative branded content ideas, ran successful brand collaborations for giveaways, established TikTok presence from scratch, and have been responsible for growing of social media communities. I’ve honed audience, content, and commerce strategy—simultaneously. My forte is delivering authentic, persuasive, customized campaign content based on KPIs, be it creative approaches or influencer prompts. My analytical mindset lets me quickly connect the dots and identify opportunities and gaps.
Prior to joining Kindred Group as a Social Media & Influencer Strategist in their acquisition team, I headed social and influencer strategy at Blush, an e-commerce platform for all things sexual wellness, and Agape, an e-comm in men's fashion. As a freelancer, I have experience working with various clients. My past clients include Fiber Fueled (theguthealthmd), Aerograrden, and Hairscripts, Patch.com, and more. Following a 5 year-long career in journalism and content, I contribute blogs to AMA, NY Chapter. I love a good story and a great strategy!
Let's connect and drive meaningful growth together.
