Back in 2007, while working as a marketing coordinator for a multi-location veterinary group, I enrolled in a social media marketing course\u2014just 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.
<\/span>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.
<\/span>I\u2019ve 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.
<\/span>In 2025, I launched Root and Rise Marketing to combine everything I\u2019ve learned and create a business that supports others <\/span>and<\/em> gives me the flexibility to live life on my terms.
<\/span>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\u2019m never bored.
<\/span>Oh, and that photo above? When I\u2019m not working, I enjoy playing amateur pool. Let\u2019s grab a rack or two and chat about how we can grow your business together.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
