MY STORY

From psychology graduate to SEO specialist

I graduated with a BS in Psychology from Cebu Normal University in 2023 — which might seem like an unusual path into SEO. But understanding how people think, what they search for, and why they click on certain results? That’s the foundation of great search engine optimization. I started my digital career in 2020 and haven’t stopped learning since. 

2020 - started

Began writing and optimizing blog content for US-based clients. First exposure to keyword research, SurferSEO, and long-form SEO structure.

2021–2023 - scaled to lead

Led a remote team of 5+ writers, produced 1,000+ SEO articles, managed link-building campaigns for sites across multiple niches.

2023–2025 - expanded into marketing ops

Email automation with ActiveCampaign, landing page design, webinar content, social media management, and Microsoft 365 workflow automation (Power Automate).

2025–now - hybrid full service seo and ai workflow automation specialist

Freelance SEO specialist offering end-to-end SEO strategy - content and on-page, with a hybrid role in building automated workflows on Power Automate — for businesses worldwide.

BEYOND THE DESK

A little more about me

When I’m not optimizing content or digging into keyword data, you’ll find me at the sports center — I play pickleball, badminton, and volleyball. Otherwise I’m out running at the park or walking my five cats. Yes, five.

I’m based in Cebu, Philippines and work with clients remotely across different time zones. C1 Advanced English level — clear, professional communication always.
