ABOUT SAM

I know what it is like feeling like you have to follow the steps: 

📚 Get an education
💼 Find a career job
😩 Stay in it regardless of whether you are miserable or broke or not, etc.

Even after years of racking up my tuition bills to get my degree in Geography, I knew once I became a teacher that there had to be more than feeling financially strapped and emotionally exhausted in order to maintain a “career”.

And there is.

Leaving a job that felt “safe” even though it was a constant internal struggle was the best decision I ever made. 

That’s how I found social media management. Unlike the confinements of a “normal” 9-5, I finally found a career path that allowed me to ACTUALLY make my own schedule, work with who I wanted, and have absolutely no cap on the amount of money I could make. 

And so my SMM story began…

A Little Trip Down Memory Lane

I knew about social media management before I went full time in 2021.

I was a “social media manager” for a small food brand throughout my teaching career as a way to make a little extra money. What I was basically doing was taking product photos in different areas and lighting, posting them, and calling it social media. 

Then in 2021, I learned that it requires SO much more than that - but it could also be so much more than that too. I was the type to go all in, and I definitely did. 

I have now worked with over 40+ clients, from restaurants to yacht brokerages to acupuncturists.

I was able to hit six figures in my first year, and after streamlining, hiring and scaling even further - I was bringing home over $25K a month in my second year. 

Not only did I love the ability to make this kind of income for the first time in my life, but I was also doing it all while helping other businesses thrive at the same time. I was (and still am) obsessed!

NO TRICKS, NO GIMMICKS,

JUST HARD WORK AND KNOWING THERE IS SO MUCH OPPORTUNITY TO BE HAD IN THIS INDUSTRY THAT CAN ABSOLUTELY BE YOURS TOO. IT IS ALL POSSIBLE.
