1999: My first website was a Spice Girls website I created at the age of 12 hosted on a website called Angelfire.
I became hooked and built websites as a hobby. I used third party sites for a few years called GeoCities and Tripod (these are similar to Wix) and graduated to owning and operating my own server, installing WHM and cPanel, configuring MySQL databases and eventually created my own WordPress themes.
At the age of 21 in my third year of college, I sold all of my celebrity fan sites to a company called Hollywood.com and they hired me on full-time to go to red carpet events and provide exclusive coverage.
I have met and was recognized for my websites by Christian Bale, the Jonas Brothers, Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Chace Crawford, and more. I contributed to Rolling Stone magazine for an Avril Lavigne feature, as well as an episode for Adam Lambert’s E! True Hollywood Story on the E! Channel.
I worked at Hollywood.com for a number of years until an opportunity as a web developer for a franchise dealership for Kia cars, Ford, Isuzu, Mitsubishi Fuso, and Hino (Toyota) trucks in the heart of Orange County came up, and that was precisely where I honed all of my marketing skills including graphic design, more website design, email marketing, Google and Bing Advertising, eCommerce, and working with multiple vendors.
2014: I visited Google HQ in Mountain View and worked with the team on a new product they were rolling out called Google Merchant Center, or Google Shopping. It was there I decided I would continue learning all I could about advertising. I used the experience there to become an ad trafficker for a boutique auto marketing agency and learned about programmatic display, Google DV360, and more advanced methods of getting your brand out there.
2020 and beyond: I started a small marketing agency mostly for SEO, smaller SEM budgets, and social media management and worked with multiple industries and companies in automotive, e-commerce, CPG, entertainment and so much more.
I have three dogs Baby (5), Moo (8), and Taco (5) and I live in Temecula, California. I am also a mommy to two lil girls who love Cocomelon. So if you ever need me to break out the Cocomelon, I am happy to do it. Itsy Bitsy Spider is my jam.
