MEET YOUR new MARKETING BFF

Two years into our marriage, my husband got stationed in San Diego. I was sooo excited to live in California!!

We got settled in our massive townhouse and got a dog (we named him Ares). I got a teaching job at a middle school in a small, impoverished town that was 90 minutes away from us…yes, 90!!

The school year went on and realized that I lost my passion for teaching. I was underpaid and under-appreciated…plus that commute, am I right?

BUT we definitely couldn’t survive on one paycheck alone…definitely not in California!!

I knew I HAD to do something to contribute to our income!

I decided to pursue one of my passions…makeup!

I created social media accounts for my hobby and they grew rather quickly. I also got certified and become a professional makeup artist.

I started making money from social media and getting clients through my online presence. I did makeup on women for proms, weddings, and other special occasions. Halloween was obviously my fave, btw.

I actually started making money.

I realized that I could really turn my passion into profit.

I kept getting tons of entrepreneurs asking me how I grew my social media presence so quickly…so much so that I decided to launch another business– a virtual assistant business.

I so badly wanted to just do social media management, but I realized that I loved doing admin work too!

I quickly outgrew my business and was able to hire subcontractors to take on some of the work. Then, I was able to niche down to strategic marketing.
