Biography


My early years were marked by a curiosity that led me from one academic interest to another. It wasn't until my enrollment at Chapman U. after exploratory terms at Fullerton College and California State University Long Beach that I stumbled upon the world of Advertising — it was a perfect fit, one that hit all the right cords solidifying my career trajectory.

After graduation, I began my career in Laguna Beach, California, joining Girard as an in-house marketing professional. In that role, I managed a wide range of responsibilities across marketing and technology, often learning as I went. The experience gave me a strong foundation and the confidence to move into self-employment, which led me to Boston for several years.

A move to Seattle before returning to California in 2007 marked an important shift in my career. There, I was introduced to SEO and recognized its growing importance in digital marketing. I focused on building expertise in this area, which later supported my transition back to Southern California. I settled near the San Bernardino National Forest and took on my first marketing management role at IEHP.

The 2008 economic downturn led me to a range of consulting projects, from supporting clients in New York to building websites for real estate professionals and working on SEO for the beauty industry in Beverly Hills. I also earned a yoga certification during this period. By 2016, I shifted my focus to marketing in the biotech and life sciences sector in Los Angeles. The 2020 pandemic prompted a return to consulting, where I continue to help organizations navigate the ever-evolving digital ecosystem. Recently, I earned my MCT and am expanding my work in the health and wellness sector, with an equal focus on how AI is shaping the future of digital marketing.
