Hi, I'm Elle

Choosing the best Social Media Manager to help your brand thrive in the digital landscape is no easy task, so let me tell you a bit about myself!

My Story

I graduated from The University of Tampa in 2021 with a B.S. in Criminology and Criminal Justice. Coming from the suburbs of Chicago at 18, to a brand new state where I knew absolutely no one, I envisioned my whole career path to be one in the legal field that I would create for myself in Florida.

By graduating during the pandemic and the world as we all knew it was on hold, I was scared and confused. I did not want to continue on in my education via online courses if I wasn't sure it was what I truly wanted to do anymore.

In my last year of online courses at UT, I took two American Sign Language classes and excelled. I found a passion for the culture that I did not expect. Upon graduation and figuring out my future plans, my professor encouraged me to continue my education and become an interpreter. Now, I am in the process of continuing my education through Gallaudet University online courses. Learning American Sign Language is important to me as much as it is a passion. My knowledge of ASL has the ability to connect me with a wonderful community where we can help each other, and businesses, grow. Those last few years of my college journey were formative, laying the foundation for my career ahead.

Following my studies, I embarked on a fulfilling journey as an Account Manager and Creative Director at a local Creative Agency in Tampa Bay. Over the span of two years (2022-2024), I immersed myself in the vibrant world of marketing, leveraging my creative insights and strategic thinking to drive impactful campaigns. My extensive background in the hospitality industry has been invaluable in shaping my understanding of consumer behavior, particularly in the food and beverage sector in Tampa Bay. This firsthand experience has allowed me to delve deep into the local culture and create authentic connections through my work.

Within a year at my previous agency, I was promoted to Creative Director. This role not only enhanced my leadership skills, but also provided me with invaluable experience in overseeing the creative process from conception to execution. Managing accounts for local businesses has been both a privilege and a rewarding challenge. I've had the opportunity to work closely with a handful of diverse businesses, helping them achieve their marketing goals and stand out in their respective industries.

My journey has extended beyond the local landscape, as I've had the pleasure of working with national brands both through my own micro-influencing efforts and in collaboration with my first agency job. This exposure has broadened my perspective and equipped me with insights into trends and strategies on a larger scale. Along with building my own Agency, I work closely with BCreativ Branding Partnerships as a Brand Relations Manager and Content Creator, while also enjoying my time as a Content Creator and Social Media Specialist for Marry Me Tampa Bay/Behind The Vows.

As a Social Media Manager and Content Creator, I am passionate about crafting compelling narratives, fostering meaningful connections, and driving measurable results for my clients. Whether you're a local business looking to make waves in Tampa Bay, or a national brand seeking to leave a lasting impression, I'm here to help you thrive in the digital landscape!
