About
An SEO strategist focused on sustainable organic growth — the kind that compounds over quarters, not the kind that disappears with the next algorithm update.

How I work
Decisions tied to revenue and pipeline — not vanity rankings. The goal is growth that shows up in the numbers that matter.
Comfortable moving quickly, shifting priorities, and shipping work that fits the moment — without losing the long view.
Set the direction, then do the work. Briefs, audits, content, technical fixes — close enough to the details to make them right.
Clear communication, no jargon, and a collaborative style that fits naturally into existing teams and workflows.
Sustainable systems over short-term spikes — search foundations that compound across Google and AI answer engines alike.
Prioritize the few things that actually move the business. Less noise, more signal, and a clear sense of what comes next.
