My Journey: From Nightclubs to Digital Marketing

My career began in the fast-paced world of nightlife, where I managed the #1 nightclub in South Georgia and North Florida. It was there that I learned the power of branding and storytelling—not just to sell a product, but to create an unforgettable experience. That lesson carried me into the music industry, where I helped an R&B artist break into the Billboard Top 100 by crafting a compelling brand and go-to-market strategy.

When I started a family, I knew I wanted to be present for my kids while still pursuing my passion for marketing. That’s when I taught myself how to build WordPress websites and launched my first business, 24-Hour Web Design. Offering 5-page websites in just 24 hours, I quickly gained traction and built the foundation for my career in digital marketing.

Today, I’m a results-oriented marketing strategist with over 10 years of experience driving growth, optimizing brand presence, and scaling businesses through innovative marketing strategies. My expertise spans strategic planning, digital marketing, SEO, CRM integration, and team leadership. But what truly sets me apart is my ability to align marketing initiatives with business goals, leveraging data-driven insights to deliver measurable results.
