Uncommon Gear, LLC: SEO, Marketing, Merchandising & Buying

In partnership with a small but elite team of eCommerce experts, I helped to build our brands into multi million-dollar industry leaders by dominating search, curating merchandising, reducing COGs, increasing margins, optimizing UX, developing "rank-#1" content, and producing video and photo for content and social.
I'm a writer at heart. While it's a privilege to write professionally, I also enjoy it for fun. As a side gig, I wrote and edited at AllOutdoor, a digital publication catering to the outdoor lifestyle.
Key accomplishments as Writer & Editor:

I covered everything from ultralight hiking gear reviews, to technical explanations of breathable waterproofing, to military and firearm history, to the spread of cervid disease and its effect on the hunting industry.
Turn5, Inc.: Copywriting, SEO & Video Production
As Copywriter at Turn5, Inc., I delivered key product information efficiently, improved copy and page structures, and developed intimate knowledge of our products and our customers' goals and needs. This guided my approach to writing copy that improved key on-site metrics, contributed to on-page SEO, and boosted conversion rates.

descriptions daily
This is also how I also approached writing and hosting videos at Turn5: With the goal of building confidence in customers by teaching them about our products and their vehicles, and giving them the knowledge to work on their passion projects more effectively.
Before I crafted a website and wrote its web content from scratch, I interviewed brand owners. I learned about their core competencies, top products and services, USPs, strengths and weaknesses, opportunities, competitors, and target market. I took the time to research and develop tailored SEO and web content strategies for every brand.
Key accomplishments as Web Content Writer:
- Built over 300 industry-specific websites for individual brands and businesses
- Selected by President of Web Products to test and build new GUI web product
- Selected by Web Content management to coach content teams on product rollout
- Promoted to Sr. Writer,
coached junior writers on writing and interview practices
The result was the development of a web content product that acquired key rankings in local search, built on existing digital and print advertising, increased leads, and grew online and brick-and-mortar traffic for small- and medium-sized businesses.
