experience possible to the consumer. In the rare

are looking for, I know the steps to take to get
there. In my history, I’ve been lauded and
praised for my attention to detail and
understanding in consumer relations.

You know how companies are struggling to keep
up with constant social media changes and reaching
their audience? Well, what I do is modernize and update a company’s social
media presence to get them seen by the widest amount of their target
audience. In fact, just last week one of my clients’ Twitter account
impressions grew by 47% after my work with them.
