  • About Me

    I moved from to Portland in 2014 to join what was then called Ethology, with four years of paid search experience. Originally from Montana, I have built and managed paid search campaigns in multiple verticals ranging from Hospitality to Real Estate, Dental Services to Construction.

     

    On the Ethology team, I worked with my team on managing, optimizing, creating strategies and working directly with clients on campaigns for Waste Management, Franchise Services Inc, Culligan Water, LifeLock and many others as a Specialist, before assuming the role as Director of Paid Media.

     

    Following my time with Ethology, I assumed the roll as Director of Digital Services at MBT Marketing, overseeing all digital media, web development, as well as client and new business strategy as it relates to digital with the account team.

     

    I currently serve as Digital Marketing Director of Paid Search for Rain the Growth Agency, overseeing a team of 10, along with new business strategy, OTT, and all paid search and YouTube strategies.

     

    Outside Rain, I proudly serve as President for SEMpdx, a Portland Digital Marketing community.
