About

Content is a product. Let's build it like one.

I look at content as a product, not a marketing tool. That means starting with the user, designing the architecture before writing a word, and building systems that scale without breaking. I've spent 10+ years proving that the infrastructure behind content matters as much as the content itself.

At Ria Money Transfer, I lead digital strategy for a public web platform operating across 100+ markets and 30+ languages. I manage the website roadmap, content architecture, and conversion strategy, partnering daily with product, engineering, SEO, and design. Right now I'm leading a full platform transformation: a CMS migration, content architecture redesign, and UX and visual overhaul rebuilding the platform from a one-to-one content model to a programmatic, one-to-many system built to scale globally.

Before Ria, I co-founded a marketing agency where I built and led a team delivering content strategy, branding, and web platforms for 25+ businesses. I also grew an online community from scratch to 1M+ followers before it was acquired in 2021. It's where I developed the instinct for audience, growth, and what it actually takes to scale something from zero.

Travel

I've traveled to 25+ countries

I bought a one-way ticket to New Zealand and spent a year backpacking across 25+ countries. It's the most clarifying thing I've ever done and the best investment I've made in how I think.

Writing

I studied creative writing

I was told I'd starve if I got my degree in creative writing. Instead, it opened every door. I read 100+ books a year and recently finished the first draft of my first novel at around 80,000 words.

Let's create something worth building.

I'm open to senior content strategy, web platform, and growth-focused roles where I can build systems that scale. Based in Denver, CO and open to remote work.

What I'm looking for

Roles where I can make a real impact:

Build and own a content platform or web strategy at global scale
Work embedded with product and engineering, not siloed in a marketing org
Build and lead a content team focused on growth
Drive measurable outcomes: traffic, conversion, and revenue, not just output
Work with a team that takes craft seriously
