Music and entertainment runs in my veins. I come from a long line of professional musicians and have years of experience as a professional vocalist. Over the years, I've attended hundreds upon hundreds of live shows and festivals. In 2018, a selection of my music journalism was archived by the US Library of Congress in their American Music archives.

I’m a marketer who thrives at the intersection of creativity and strategy, with a knack for turning big ideas into even bigger results.

Over the years, I’ve learned that performance-based marketing and organic marketing aren’t separate silos—they’re two sides of the same coin. Paid campaigns amplify your message, but it’s the strength of your organic foundation that makes people stop, trust, and ultimately, buy.

At Totem, I’ve built strategies that do both: scaling social media accounts from a few hundred followers to over 170K, generating 60M+ organic views, and driving campaigns that deliver big results on tight budgets. It’s about knowing your audience, testing relentlessly, and turning insights into action.

But marketing isn't just about the wins—it's about the process. It's about diving into UTM data to trace the path from click to conversion. Refining ad copy until it feels like a conversation. Collaborating with a team to create campaigns that feel as real as they are effective.

Marketing is an ever-evolving puzzle, and I thrive on figuring it out. Great marketing isn’t just about what you know. It’s about what you’re willing to learn.

If you’re looking to connect with someone who lives at the intersection of data and creativity, let’s chat. I’d love to swap ideas and talk shop.
