How it started
I’ve watched so many friends struggle to balance their passion projects — aka. their small businesses — with the administrivia of social media, digital marketing, and communications. That wasn’t what they signed up to do! They just wanted to run a swim school / be a pediatrician / teach knitting classes! How did they also become a part-time marketing professional??
That’s when I had an idea: What if I could take the digital work off small business owners’ plates so they could focus their time and energy on doing what they love — the reason they started their business in the first place?
After more than 15 years in higher education and human resources, this seemed like an ideal opportunity for a pivot. I love helping people, I’m chronically online, and I want to spend as much time as I can doing something creative. Golden Poppy Digital is basically the center of that Venn diagram.
As a digital marketing and communications professional, I’m here to support you. I want to tell your story, share why your work is important, and do more than just connect you to an audience — I want to help you build a community.
Who I am
I launched Golden Poppy Digital in March 2025 with an Instagram account and a dream. Prior to that, I worked in higher education as an academic advisor, and later in talent development, focusing on employee orientation, onboarding, and engagement.
My career trajectory might look a little wonky, but all of these roles share one important thing: Care for people and their experiences.
What does it look like to work with me?
Service first. Creativity and customer service are my top priorities.
Tailored support. I make sure the service I provide is specific to what YOU need based on your industry and vision.
Strategic storytelling. I build a content strategy to showcase the business you've worked so hard to build.
Stress-free socials. I handle it all so you can focus on doing what you love!
Are you ready to let me handle your digital needs so you can get back to doing what you love?
