About

Professional summary

I am a content strategist and SEO manager with more than a decade of experience building content programs for B2B and B2B2C organizations. My work spans insurance, biotech IT, cybersecurity, IT services, energy, home services, and SaaS.

I build content programs end to end, beginning with keyword research, competitor analysis, messaging architecture, and editorial planning. I connect content strategy to measurable business outcomes through search performance reporting, traffic analysis, engagement tracking, and conversion-focused optimization.

I specialize in SEO, technical SEO, GEO, and AEO, with experience creating optimized website content, thought leadership, long-form articles, social content, email messaging, and paid campaign support. I translate complex technical and regulated topics into clear content that helps non-specialist buyers make decisions.

I have built and managed AI-enabled content systems, including brand voice models, prompt libraries, drafting agents, and editorial quality-assurance workflows. I use these systems to help teams produce content at scale while maintaining accuracy, consistency, and an authentic brand voice.

I work effectively with founders, product teams, sales teams, designers, writers, and marketing leaders. I have led editorial processes, managed content calendars, mentored team members, and directed freelance contributors across simultaneous client programs.

I am looking for a role where I can apply my strengths in strategy, analysis, creativity, and content operations while continuing to grow with a collaborative team.

Career history

Founder & Content Lead SET Collective

Trained 6 writers, designers, and client team members on brand voice, SEO standards, and editorial QA. Direct small contributor teams across concurrent client programs, owning scope, timelines, and final review on every deliverable.

Build the AI systems that let a small team produce at volume: brand voice models trained on what a company actually publishes, prompt libraries tied to approved messaging, and drafting agents built in Claude that work across Notion, Canva, and Google.

Lead SEO, GEO, and AEO strategy, messaging architecture, and content operations, and report the KPIs that show what worked.
