Over 80% of consumers **US** go to the Internet before making a decision to purchase a good or service. My passion is to make sure when you go to the Internet, your business is what your customers find first. From search engine optimization to paid ads to business directory submission, I can increase your business' online visibility. You want to make sure when someone is searching online, they find you or else you are giving business to your competitors. I worked with local businesses to manage a variety of areas within their online search strategy. Based on the client's needs, I develop an SEO, SEM (PPC) or Social Media Plan and a strategy to implement. The strategy may be consulting with the intent to educate and have the business owner carry out the steps or a full implementation where I "do all the work" so to speak. Each SEO, SEM and Social Media strategy is unique. Feel free to ask any questions about consulting or speaking engagements.

I'm thrilled to announce I accepted a position with Jeff Hoffman and his amazing team to fulfill the digital marketing aspect of their integrated marketing plans. I am also looking forward to utilizing my online strategerie to help new clients leverage their internet presence. As always, reach out if you have any questions or would like to have me speak to your organization. :)

I can't wait to help companies see the value in investing in closing the Opportunity Divide in Jacksonville! A trained workforce creates more loyalty and saves companies money in the long-run by not having to reinvest in training! As I learn more, you will too! :)

At CFM, I was responsible for the online audit of our client needs analysis followed by specific recommendations based on needs, ROI and expectations. Oh yeah, and I hear some clients have budget restrictions. From social media to SEO and PPC, I loved to deliver key metrics to our clients. Oh, and the kids are doing great! I think my boy has grown 3 inches since the summer and the teenager is not a teen anymore. She received her AA and is starting UNF to continue her Political Science and Marketing aspirations. Swoop!

Life wouldn't be life if it wasn't filled with change. Sometimes I think we believe our path to success is linear, but, I must disagree. There are many paths to success and with each choice comes new strengths, challenges and most importantly, perspective. My time at Vast Bridges provided insight into my growth areas and, honestly, allowed me to see my skills in a whole new light. Quite frankly, I loved what the experience provided but at the end of the day it wasn't a good fit. The owner is an incredible visionary and I am glad to have had the opportunity to see how he does business. I do love and understand SEO more than some but to say it's my only calling is a bit short-sighted. I like to tweak and optimize but on the grander scale, I want to make a difference. :)

I was hired by the JAX Chamber as an independent contractor to manage their social media accounts including two Facebook profiles, Twitter, Linkedin and YouTube. I also consulted with the other departments within the JAX Chamber to help implement best practices and give advice on how to use the power of social media to leverage existing brand strategies. During my time there, we developed the #ilovejax initiative as well as #buychamber. The Chamber's continued Social Media efforts stood out as a way to prove value to existing members as well as to increase membership. Live tweeting became an integral part of the JAX Chamber's social media initiatives through my guidance and created huge returns for the organization through engagement and event attendance. I was responsible for creating, implementing and tweaking the Social Media strategy for the JAX Chamber based on specific goals in accordance with their marketing plan. I also advised on best practices for SEO during their website overhaul. This included website and video optimization strategies. This position enabled me to manage a variety of messaging and platforms on a large scale with great success. I loved this opportunity.

At YB360 I was able to display my passion for internet marketing such as SEO, SEM, SM, Website Design and YouTube video creation. I was a media/marketing consultant providing a wide variety of services at an affordable rate. I would oversee all of my client's marketing needs at any budget.

As an internet marketer, I managed all of A Quantum Leap's online marketing efforts. I sometimes assisted with hard marketing but that is not my specialty. I conducted various search engine marketing campaigns, measured their success, and tweaked accordingly. I also managed their social media accounts including Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. The tutoring company I worked for employs a student-centered approach because we recognize the unique learning style of each student. I began as a tutor, found a passion for education and that is why I am proud to have been part of the marketing team for this company. I know the caliber of tutors they employ and I also know the passion for education which is evident in every choice my boss makes. They will never become a tutoring franchise. Everything is maintained through their corporate office in Jacksonville, FL. I used to keep the TutoringByCity website current and optimized. I also optimized just about anything that went on the web, whether it was an ad they posted or a listing a directory. Another fun aspect of my old job is networking! Who knew I'd get paid to meet new people and connect?

I was a fire controlman. I operated a 5" gunnery system and all associated radars and peripherals. I was responsible for conducting small arms and force protection training for a crew of about 350. I basically blew up stuff and stood a lot of watch. I'm also really good at painting walls grey.
