Growth Marketing · 0→1 Builder · San Francisco

Before ReadySpaces, I launched an e-commerce brand from zero to $2M in revenue as its first hire. At ReadySpaces, also as the first marketing hire, I built the growth engine behind its run from $10M to $100M across paid, organic, and lifecycle. That work now extends to WareCRE, ReadySpaces' B2B marketplace brand, listing 300+ properties across all major US and Canadian markets.

I do my best work where marketing, data, and product overlap: writing the SQL that powers ad budget automation, building the dashboards that surface leasing velocity, shipping the SEO system that grew organic traffic 5x, and standing up email infrastructure from scratch.
