Digital Marketing Specialist
About
I am a marketing professional with over ten years of experience in digital marketing including e-commerce, user acquisition, paid search, digital advertising, content development, and social media management.
My passion for influencing the success of a brand's direct-to-consumer efforts propels my excitement for the work that I do.
After earning a Bachelor's Degree in Communications from the American University of Rome (AUR), Italy, I continued on to work for Hollywood Branded, Inc., an entertainment marketing agency in Los Angeles as the Media & Marketing Manager. In 2011, I earned a Master Certificate in Internet Marketing from the University of San Francisco (USF). Shortly after, I was hired by Meyer Corporation, the largest manufacturer and distributor of cookware in the country supporting their social media and public relations initiatives.
My culinary experience has offered me the opportunity to work with The Culinary Institute of America in developing a social media and content strategy for their newest branch campus in Napa, CA.
I then was offered the opportunity to drive online marketing and sales at WX Brands as a Digital Marketing Associate, assisting the spirits manufacturer with their social media and e-commerce efforts.
I am now at Ignite Visibility, a digital marketing agency, as an Email Marketing Specialist.
I look forward to connecting with you.
