Summary

I’m a digital and social media marketer with a passion for user-driven strategy and targeted content creation. I have a holistic understanding of website strategy from my experience in social media marketing, search engine optimization, creative design, editing and online community management. I’ve worked with B2C and B2B companies of varying sizes with unique business needs. I believe in helping brands tell the right stories and reach their customers in creative and authentic ways.

In addition, I'm an active contributor and blogger with a passion for inspiring female writers. I run a women’s lifestyle website, HerTrack.com, where I manage nearly forty writers and marketers from across the country. I founded the site after establishing my own career in blogging, and did so to enable other young women to achieve full potential in their personal and professional goals. I enjoy working on a team to drive results. Learning from others in the ever-changing digital field is instrumental and rewarding. I seek to expand my capabilities, grow as a professional and learn more every day.

Founder and Publisher
Her Track / Philadelphia

In January 2014, I founded my own blog and in January 2026 the site was relaunched as a contributor platform for other young women.

Her Track (formerly Serendipity and Creativity) is a community of young women writing about what it means to be a modern millennial woman. Topics include relationships, health, culture, women's issues, style, decorating, education and anything the writers want to share. We also contribute to other publications, including the Huffington Post. In addition to the group of writers, there are also several unique marketing teams that work towards new, and exciting projects for the site.

I now serve as the CEO & Founder, managing all Marketing Team Leads and the 40-50 different Her Track Writers. I still write, but now also oversee all operations including editing, communications, publishing, social media promotions, web design, SEO, advertising, sponsorships, content strategy and team relations. The marketing teams at Her Track continue to grow and allow me to take a leadership role among my tactical duties. We are constantly seeking to expand our team of writers and brand partners.
