Growth Marketing Manager | SaaS Content, Social, Lifecycle, and GTM
I didn’t start in marketing. I studied cognitive science, philosophy, and literature - trying to understand how people think, how cultures evolve, and why certain ideas resonate across time and medium. That through line is what pulled me into early stage SaaS. This work sits at the intersection of everything I care about: systems, stories, and behavioral insight. Over the last 3+ years, I’ve built full-stack programs across Digital Health, EdTech, and L&D Tech. I’ve doubled organic web traffic, quadrupled nurture sequence engagement, and helped generate over $1M in ARR through organic channels in a single year. I focus on content, lifecycle, and CRM. My philosophy is simple: Don’t chase dopamine spikes. Build metabolic health. Growth hacks can work, until you get addicted. I help companies build trust, traffic, and long-term awareness that doesn't fizzle out.
