Hey! I’m Emily, nice to meet you! I’ll go first…

I'm an avid reader, a proud dog mom & a newb yogi.

I started conducting scientific research, experiments & analyses in the 4th grade & didn’t stop.

Somehow, that evolved into building skillsets—like creating content, managing projects & building systems—that I really enjoy!

Currently, I’m developing licensable products for the novelty, home goods & pet industries.

I also run Clearlead Marketing, where we help busy B2B teams maximize their LinkedIn presence, generate high-value leads & drive business growth. 

We provide…
- fractional marketing strategy, 
- content optimization,
- lead gen support & 
- corporate training!

So, if you need more leads & brand exposure but don't have the time to figure out LinkedIn…

send a DM
and share a little about yourself! 🤝

Can’t wait to talk more! 💜
