Some of my key achievements in recent roles include:

  • Developed a new consumer-facing content hub, Instacart’s Ideas & Guides, along with a 1000+ post content hub driving $750K+ in yearly traffic value and $700K in backlink profile value.
  • Wix named Ideas & Guides as 1 of 5 examples of “great content writing” in a recent feature, claiming “Instacart’s grocery delivery service provides a great value to its customers. However, the Ideas & Guides section of the brand’s website offers an opportunity to maximize the brand’s service. It covers DIY topics like cooking tips, holiday and event planning, and recipes.” The hub was also showcased by Kevin Indig in a recent case study of effective SEO strategies.
  • Led the consolidation of Instacart’s backlink profile and new natural backlink acquisition strategy resulting in an overall domain rating increase for Instacart’s core domain.
  • Developed more than 250 SEO content articles which helped contribute to 2X growth in Y/Y visits to Shutterfly’s content hub. Optimized content for organic search resulted in over 1 million organic monthly visits to Shutterfly’s content hub.
  • Created a pilot micro-influencer program and managed ongoing relationships with over 20 influencers for Shutterfly’s consumer content hub.

Based on my previous experience and education, I’m currently looking for growth opportunities within the SEO product management and content strategy space.
