From Teacher to Digital Marketer: My Journey to SEO
My journey into digital marketing began in 2015 when I launched my own travel-based website. Back then, I knew I needed to blog, but I lacked direction in creating content that resonated with my audience. I simply wrote what I wanted, all while balancing a full-time teaching role in an elementary school in Bellevue.
In 2017, I left teaching to publish a travel book and earn a certification in digital marketing. I began by volunteering my marketing skills for local nonprofit clients in Seattle, gradually stepping into online freelancing in the broader digital marketing field.
When I welcomed my daughter in 2018, I took a break to focus on family. During this time, I kept up my marketing skills by volunteering as the social media manager at Magnolia Cooperative Preschool in Seattle. The following year, I joined the board as the Director of Marketing, where I managed a team in a project manager role.
After exploring various marketing roles, I found my true passion in search engine optimization.

This statistic is one of the reasons I became passionate about SEO - because helping small businesses reach that coveted first page means getting seen by more potential customers. And SEO helps you do that without paying for ads.
