I'm nearly 5 years into my journey in Digital Marketing, and weekly I watch a webinar or stumble across a blog that still makes me feel as if I just walked into class on the first day of freshmen year. From analyzing data trends, to the ever changing landscape of digital marketing there is always something new to learn. 

My formal journey began at the University of Wisconsin - Madison, where I graduated in 2014 with degrees in Communication Arts and General Business. But, I was intrigued by e-commerce and digital marketing well before that -- buying and selling tennis balls online, when I would get home from high school baseball practice. 

I've continued my journey at Tormach Inc., where I'm still employed, as a Digital Marketing Specialist. As of late, I have focused my efforts on creating digital marketing strategy and an omni-channel experience across various paid search platforms, including Facebook, Google Adwords, and Bing Ads. Being at a small company, I have also been lucky enough to work on email marketing, market research, Amazon, lead generation, and marketing automation. 

I'm always looking for a new connections - so just hit connect, if you'd like to talk.
