Digital Marketing, Systems & Automation Specialist
Vanessa is a digital marketer who blends content creation with strategy — she does not just build the assets, she advises on how to use them. She runs organic campaigns end to end, keeps a brand consistent everywhere it shows up, and troubleshoots the technology behind it when something breaks.

Meet Vanessa
Vanessa helps businesses bring order to the marketing, systems, and processes running behind the scenes. She combines digital marketing with operations and technical problem-solving, which makes her especially valuable to owners who need someone who can see the bigger picture and still get into the details to make it work. Her day-to-day spans creating content and graphics in Canva, keeping websites current, managing LinkedIn profiles and company pages, planning and running organic campaigns, building email marketing, and setting up the automations and CRM dashboards that keep a pipeline moving.
What sets her apart is that she does not stop at the canned answer. When a platform's own support team could not resolve a stubborn website issue, she worked the problem herself — digging into developer settings and mapping errors step by step until she found the real root cause rather than a workaround. She asks thoughtful questions, communicates clearly, and looks for practical improvements instead of working around recurring problems. Vanessa does her best work with service-based, creative, and mission-driven businesses — especially coaches, marketers, authors, and educators — where she can be treated as part of the team and take real ownership of the work.
Outside of workVanessa loves running and staying active and has completed two marathons.

Problem-solving story
When the Standard Answer Isn’t Enough.
When a Squarespace issue remained unresolved even after platform support, Vanessa investigated it herself. Using AI tools, developer settings, and a step-by-step analysis of the site’s 404 errors, she identified the root cause and resolved the issue—demonstrating resourcefulness and technical problem-solving without overcomplicating the solution.
“Vanessa has been wonderful to work with. She has welcomed every task I've thrown her way with a positive attitude, asks thoughtful questions, and has been willing to learn the nuances of my work and organizations.”
