I am a Digital Marketing and Data Analytics Expert with a Passion for Photography
I am bilingual (English and Japanese) and have been lucky to live and work in both the United States and Japan. If I could have both, I would work in the U.S. while my stomach would live in Japan. I graduated from the University of Notre Dame with a Bachelor of Business Administration, concentration in marketing, and have since been on a journey to build demand generation programs for multiple organizations.
Professional Experience
My interest in digital marketing started when I inherited an agency client with a PPC (pay-per-click) campaign. Fascinated by the ability to measure the number of conversions and optimize campaigns based on website analytics (I love data!), I quickly convinced the client to expand their budget by demonstrating improved performance and grew the number of agency PCC clients from 1 to 9, achieving Google Partner Agency status.
Through the agency, I was able to attend the NPE Show, which was my first exposure to the world of automation and manufacturing. Learning about how something as a small as a contact lens required a complex series of machines to form and polish a mold, which is then inserted into a plastic injection machine, opened my eyes to a world I had not seen before, and I have been fascinated to learn how things are made ever since.
I am blessed to be able to combine my interest in how things are made and digital marketing in my current position and lead a career focused in demand generation, SEO (search engine optimization), PPC, website management, digital strategy, analytics and sales funnel development.

Photography
In 2012, I had the pleasure to attend the weddings of 9 of my close friends while traveling to multiple destinations for agency client tradeshows. I have always been interested in photography and decided to buy my first DSLR camera, and quickly thereafter a tripod, to document my travels. Since then, I have developed an interest in night, cityscape and panoramic photography.
All photos on this website are from my adventures across the world. I am an amateur and enthusiast when it comes to photography and welcome all comments/questions/requests as I continue to learn and improve.
