Marketing Strategist, Paid Search Virtuoso, Training & Course Creation Specialist, Learning Management System Expert
Hey there. Glad you stopped by. I wear a lot of hats, so let me get you to the stuff you might be looking for…
I use caffeine as a superpower to write, teach, podcast, lead a virtual team of creators, and consult for marketing agencies from wherever I am in the world. I teach over at Vagabond Empires. I help course creators at Athenia Creative and my team helps companies with their Learning & Development needs at Athenia Training.
If you’re a marketing agency needing a freelance marketing growth hacker on your team short or long-term…
Marketing agencies hire me as a freelancer to create strategies and run campaigns for their clients as a seamless part of their team. They like that I’m trained and experienced in digital marketing as a whole, but an expert specifically in Facebook and Google Ads. I’ve got certifications and specializations all over the place. I show up for meetings, I meet deadlines, I play nice and share with others, and I make my agency clients look good. Clients of the agency don’t know I’m a freelancer. They just know their campaigns are crushing it.
10-Step Campaign Launch Email Sequence? Handled. Web Copy & Blog Posts? Check. Pixels Placed? I’m on it. Retargeting Ad Campaigns? All Day Long. Funnels & Landing Pages? Done. I’m equal parts left and right-brained, so I design and code. Hit me with what you need. Chances are good that I’ve got it covered.
Oh, hey – did I mention I’m an analytics junkie? Need pivot tables? Wondering what dark data is? And just what does that bounce rate mean?
🙋 I know! Ask me! I know what to do with all those reports. Data only matters if you know what to do with it, right?
I’ve worked with Retail and Wholesale Travel Companies, Luxury Retailers, Online Education Providers, Magazine Publications, App Creators, Multi-Day Event Organizers, Nonprofits, SaaS Startups, Oil & Gas Clients, FinTech Customers, and E-Commerce Websites. And those are just the big ones.
I currently call Austin Texas home, but I live on Zoom, Slack and Skype, and laugh at time zones. I’m a BIG FAN of local coffeehouses, but don’t hate Starbucks in a pinch. I keep a go-bag packed for last minute trips. I’ve spoken all over the globe and on cruise ships and written a couple of books, so people seem to think I know some things. Grab some time on my calendar and let’s see if I can help you.

Project & Team Management
Bring me your brilliant ideas and I’ll formulate a plan – I’ll work with messy, half-baked ideas. I’ll take them and create a beautifully documented marketing plan with conversion goals, milestones, deliverables, and resources. I’m a trained Project Management Professional, ready to lead and manage teams. One of my superpowers is the ability to speak geek to programmers and translate what they just said back to the C-Suite.

Marketing Agency Hired Gun
My typical meetings include words like “bootstrap,” “guerilla,” “cash flow,” and “runway.” I know what it means to start a project and see it all the way through to the end. If you’re not ready for a full-time hire, I’m your girl in the middle, a reliable resource to design and execute a marketing strategy that works. I can lead the marketing team until you’re profitable enough to justify hiring a full-time executive. I’m good for the bottom line, and I make things work.

Speaking & Training
I started my career as a travel consultant and became the youngest Certified Travel Counselor in the history of the Travel Institute. I quickly moved from travel planning to the technology and training side of the industry. I launched my own consultancy in 1999 building websites and teaching people how to market, sell, and close leads from their website. Once social media launched, I broke it down for my clients and became a sought-after speaker and trainer, traveling the globe to share my knowledge. My training motto is, “If you don’t know it, it’s because I haven’t explained it well enough.”
If you’re looking for a humorous, irreverent and engaging speaker, you’ve found her. I break down the geek-speak and help my audience understand complex issues. More importantly, I make sure they have the necessary resources to be successful.
I’ve spoken to groups of up to 1500 and can adapt my subjects to your audience. My favorite topics are centered around WordPress, Facebook Ads, Digital Marketing Basics, Building a Small Business Plan, How to Grow Your Freelance Business, and How to Build a Sales Funnel that Actually Sells. I have a portfolio of pre-developed talks, but can customize for your event.
