I've seen it all. From struggling to get food and rent to driving 7-figure revenues for brands. I'm now an SEO and content specialist at Contact, an SEO agency that makes $20M/yr for clients. 

We've helped companies like Shopify, Kajabi, and beehiiv to turn search traffic into dependable, predictable revenue.

I went from being a broke and confused freelance writer in 2011 to being a top-rated copywriter who's written for valuable brands like beehiiv and Kajabi. 

I'm grateful for so many things...

Grateful to have been featured on TV, the papers, multiple blogs, ProWritingAid, HuffPost, HostAdvice, etc.

Grateful to have been one of the co-founders of a US-based digital marketing agency.

Grateful to have helped multiple clients.

Grateful to have built a site from zero to 3M+ in traffic and a mailing list from zero to 20,000+ engaged email subscribers.

I've been working at Contact, the most innovative SEO agency, since March 2023. One of my most satisfying things has been seeing valuable companies multiplying their revenue through SEO.
