Founder of Transcending Waves in January 2017 when I created my first product Transcending Waves Planner, a daily goal journal designed with principles from positive psychology to promote productivity, gratitude, and happiness.

Created my own responsive HTML emails from scratch for email marketing drip campaigns, boosting brand awareness and consumer engagement. Proficient experience with Salesforce, Shopify, Klaviyo & Mailchimp.

Developed the brand into a 6 figure business by implementing multiple marketing strategies through various platforms, including but not limited to: Email Marketing, Affiliate Marketing, Influencer Marketing, Social Media Marketing (Facebook, Instagram, Google, Pinterest, Youtube), SEO, Retail, Amazon FBA. Sold the business in August 2019 to pursue a career in web development.

I realized my passion for web development when I owned Transcending Waves because I would always be looking for new ways to optimize my website and its design with extremely specific ideas in mind but hated that I would have to rely on freelance web designers to do it for me.
