In 2012 I founded Describli, a marketing insights platform that used big data to help authors sell more books. Describli was a part of the Startup Leadership Program, top-tier accelerator MassChallenge, winner of JHU's pitch competition, and featured on Connectpreneur, Women 2.0, New England Cable News, and more.

I've taught masterclasses on startup strategy, content marketing, and marketing automation for Amazon, DC Startup Fest, UMD's Technica Hackathon, Rise 2018, and more.

I am a four-time startup founder and growth marketing strategist. I’ve worked with hundreds of startups over the last 10+ years to grow their businesses with smart marketing. As the only marketer at my first startup, I had a desperate need to clone myself. But I’m not that technical, and my clones kept going rogue. So I taught myself how to automate my email and social media outreach. And it worked! Suddenly I was growing an engaged audience on autopilot, and could focus on all of the other things I had to do as a founder. This is the course I wish I had when I started. I’ve put everything I’ve learned about email marketing and automation since then into a comprehensive course built just for startups and small businesses. And I can’t wait to get started with you. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e8c693c3bfe5d06469f513c/t/5f350ad66cb902233cf337f2/1597311735810/Pages.jpg Learn Marketing Automation https://www.lightspire.co/courses daily 0.75 2021-02-17 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e8c693c3bfe5d06469f513c/t/5ef3189567398c00a843d20c/1613556591635/Bootstrap_course_graphic+%281%29.png Courses - No team?
