Creativity started it.

Connection gave me purpose.

I help small businesses grow through intentional content, strategy, and genuine connection. Behind every brand is a story worth telling.

My connection to social media started long before I knew it could become a career. Growing up during the rise of YouTube, I created my own videos and taught myself editing, design, and storytelling simply because I loved bringing ideas to life.

Years later, that creativity found its way back to me through marketing. While studying at the University of Tampa, I managed social media and marketing requests for more than ten wellness clubs, gained agency and content creation experience, and later built an influencer marketing department from the ground up during my first year post-grad.

But my professional experience shaped more than my marketing skills. Experiencing burnout and environments where communication did not always feel clear or collaborative made me think carefully about the kind of business I wanted to create.

Starlight Social was built to feel different.

I want every client to feel heard, involved, and confident in the work we are creating together. That means honest communication, transparent processes, and strategies built around your actual goals, not a recycled plan or a one-size-fits-all package.

My mission is to help small businesses build stronger relationships with their audiences through thoughtful strategy and intentional content. Because successful social media is not only about reach or numbers. It is about creating a brand people trust, connect with, and remember.
