MY STORY

Where it all began and how it´s going now

2015: Learning by experience

In 2015, I joined the team at Daily Mom. It is with Elena Ollick, the owner of Daily Mom, with whom I learned the bulk of my skills in freelance writing, photography, web design, email marketing, and social media mangaement. 

2020: Professional Editing

In mid-2020, I was hired as the digital editor for a large military family publication. Toxic leadership made me realize that working for someone else was not what I wanted, and I felt my creative expertise was not being fully utilized. 

2011: My first daughter was born, and I stopped working.

I have my Masters in Education, but when my first daughter was born, I decided to stop working. This is when I started to look into the online and remote world for opportunities to work from home. At the time, there wasn’t much available for military spouses like me. 

2017: Launched my first website

In 2017 I launched my first publication, Daily Mom Military, a sister site of Daily Mom. This was my first experience in hiring military spouses as writers, and I was hooked! I knew I wanted to provide military spouses with valuabl careers from here on out. 

2022: Launched Aura Digital

In 2022, after freelancing with several publications and companies, I started Aura Digital Consulting. In just a year’s time, we have grown to a boutique agency with over 10 employees.
