About Me

My name is heather

Back in 2007, while working as a marketing coordinator for a multi-location veterinary group, I enrolled in a social media marketing course—just as social media was starting to grow beyond college campuses and into the business world. That course sparked something in me: a passion for helping small business owners not just understand social media, but use it strategically to grow.
Over the years, that passion grew into something bigger.
In 2017, I joined a marketing agency and my skills expanded dramatically. I gained hands-on experience in website design and development, paid search advertising, SEO, and email marketing, but more importantly, I learned how to bring all these elements together into cohesive, results-driven strategies tailored to each unique business.
I’ve had the opportunity to work with businesses of all types: automotive, pest control, dental and medical offices, real estate, e-commerce brands, roofing contractors, B2B services, you name it. Each one taught me something new and made me better at what I do.
In 2025, I launched Root and Rise Marketing to combine everything I’ve learned and create a business that supports others and gives me the flexibility to live life on my terms.
My favorite part of this work? The variety. I love diving into new industries and figuring out how to help each business grow. It keeps me sharp and I’m never bored.
Oh, and that photo above? When I’m not working, I enjoy playing amateur pool. Let’s grab a rack or two and chat about how we can grow your business together.
