About Me

An unconventional path to digital strategy

Environmental design degree. Cheerleading coach. SEM specialist. SEO strategist. The winding road shaped how I think.

My Story

My path to SEO and digital strategy wasn't linear—and I think that's exactly why it works.

I studied Environmental Design at CU Boulder, where I learned to think in systems: how spaces shape behavior, how elements connect, how the whole becomes more than the sum of its parts. That foundation influences everything I do today—I see search not as a series of tactics, but as an ecosystem with its own dynamics.

Before joining Miles Partnership, I spent years as a head cheerleading coach. It taught me leadership, communication under pressure, and how to help people achieve more than they thought possible. I also ran my own consulting business helping clients optimize their online presence, and managed SEM campaigns at Benjamin Media Group.

Now, as Director of Strategy & Insights, SEO at Miles Partnership, I bring all of these experiences together. I develop SEO strategies for destination and hospitality clients, contribute to business development, manage programs, and provide account teams with both strategic recommendations and monthly reporting.

I'm always looking for new opportunities to drive organic search traffic and engagement—and to find the unexpected connections that make the difference.

The Unconventional Background

Each chapter of my career taught me something I use every day.

Environmental Design

CU Boulder taught me to think in systems—how elements connect, how context shapes behavior, how small changes ripple through entire environments. I apply that same thinking to search ecosystems.

Cheerleading Coach

Leading teams, communicating under pressure, helping people exceed their own expectations—coaching shaped how I approach client relationships and team leadership today.

Consulting & SEM

Running my own consulting business and managing SEM at Benjamin Media Group gave me both entrepreneurial perspective and deep technical skills in paid search that complement organic strategy.

What I Value

Curiosity

The best insights come from asking better questions. Every algorithm update, every new tool, every shift in traveler behavior is an opportunity to learn something new.

Adaptability

Search changes constantly. The strategies that worked last year might not work today. I stay nimble, test continuously, and pivot when the data tells me to.

Clarity

Complex analysis is only valuable if it can be understood and acted upon. I prioritize clear communication that empowers teams to make better decisions.

Go Deeper

The path to leadership started long before marketing

From earning Eagle Scout to playing hockey since fourth grade, from performing at Folsom Field as a CU cheerleader to cultivating a permaculture garden—the foundations of how I lead were built through years of teamwork, dedication, and hands-on growth.
