About me

Hey, I'm Phoenix.

Photo coming soon

I'm a digital marketer and content creator based in Massachusetts. I make social media — strategy, content, campaigns, and everything in between.

I specialize in social media management, video production, and paid advertising. That means I'm equally comfortable building out a content calendar, directing a shoot, writing copy, editing, or jumping in front of the camera myself.

I've worked across nonprofit, retail, and media — building digital communities that actually mean something to people. The internet is a scary place, but I like to help build spaces that stand apart from that.

Outside of work I'm really into music, hip hop especially, making my own content, and gaming. You can probably find me streaming a fantasy RPG or multiplayer shooter somewhere.

Social Campaigns

Campaign work.

Multi-platform campaigns managed across nonprofit and retail — strategy, content creation, and execution from concept to wrap-up.

Food Bank of Western Massachusetts
March for the Food Bank
2025 — 16th Annual
A two-day, 43-mile walk across Western Massachusetts led by local radio personality Monte Belmonte, who pushes a shopping cart through multiple counties to raise money for the Food Bank. The 2025 march was the most successful in the event's history — highest turnout and highest fundraising to date. That year's theme leaned into a Mr. Rogers costume, which we built original content around including a scripted teaser video directed and edited in-house.
