Introduction
Digital Growth Specialist with 10+ years of experience in optimizing digital ecosystems.

As a former DMP Product Owner and Performance Marketing lead, I bring a unique blend of technical SEO expertise and data-led strategy to the table. I leverage industry-leading tools (Ahrefs, Semrush, GSC) to drive measurable engagement and long-term digital authority.
