How it started
I’ve watched so many people 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!
