Share a few sentences about your professional background and what drew you to GeniusVets.
I have a Master’s Degree in Communications and have spent my career working in journalism and digital marketing. I previously worked as a Content Strategist at a full service digital marketing agency, specializing in risk and compliance, due diligence, cybersecurity, and RegTech markets, where I managed all aspects of content creation, social media strategy, and SEO implementation for all types of companies, from one person startups to global corporations, and even a celebrity.
I am a huge believer in the power that content can have on communities and wanted to put my skills to use with a company that operates in alignment with my personal values. When I started researching GeniusVets prior to applying, I was really drawn in by the stellar review on Glassdoor. After I had my first interview with David and heard how excited he was about the future of GeniusVets and all of the good the company does for the pet owner and veterinary communities, I immediately knew this was something I wanted to be a part of.
I worked with GeniusVets as a freelancer for a number of months before joining the team full time in May 2024.
What do you love about your role? If you're new to the team, what drew you to this specific role?
Writing is my true passion in life, and I love getting to come to work everyday knowing that I'll not only get to write, but also work with a brilliant team and clients to make content that can make a difference in the lives of so many pet owners.
