Cohort-based Course

Design a practical and effective content strategy for yourself (or business!) while developing the confidence to keep showing up.

Course overview

Use TikTok to reach new audiences and grow your brand.

After this program, you'll be able to develop a 30 Day Content Plan that works for you. Learn the exact framework that helped one of my clients gain 100K+ followers & 10M organic views in 90 Days.


Plus, you'll join a community of aspiring creators who are ready to get serious.

This course is for you if

01

You tend to get too in your head. You're sick of imposter syndrome, anxiety, and confusion getting in the way of creating content.

02

Creating feels confusing. You know you have knowledge + experiences that could be valuable to others but don't know how to translate it.

03

You've tried creating content before, but you got frustrated and felt like it was a waste of effort because it wasn't going anywhere.

Over the course of 4 weeks, you'll...

Learn Content Basics


Understand fundamental content marketing & production principles so you can create with effectiveness and ease

Design a Clear Content Strategy + Practical Workflow


Develop a strategy so you can create a realistic plan to achieve your content goals. You'll also learn how to create every video with a clear purpose and intention, as well as using data to inspire & drive new ideas.

Practice to Make Progress


Content creation is a skillset. Like any new skill, it takes repetition. In this program, you won't just be listening & taking notes– You'll be brainstorming, getting live feedback from others, and immediately start applying concepts in week 1 so you can get your reps in.

Get Community Support & Feedback


What's harder than feeling lost and scared when it comes to getting started?


Feeling lost, scared, and ALONE. Another major component of this program's value is providing you the support of likeminded people who are learning, just like you. This is a place to explore and grow!

(Yes, that is her real name.)


I got my start in video production appearing in product videos for Zappos.com back in 2015, where I produced thousands of videos for years. That environment helped set a solid foundation for my video career, allowing much creative liberty and freedom to have fun with presenting.


I’ve built upon the same energy and ideals in the rest of my video work since then–continuing a career of producing video content for numerous brands & businesses of all sizes, learning how to film + edit, and developing a real passion for strategy & messaging along the way.


At one point I realized there was a pretty prominent gap between marketing and video production departments. It wasn't uncommon for there to be miscommunication and misunderstanding between the two, mainly because they are two very different worlds. A lot of branded video content tends to either be overproduced with no concrete strategy, or nonexistent because there was not enough direction/bandwidth to create consistently.


After spending time on both sides in the corporate world, I found the most effective videos:

  • Are built on consistency
  • Have a realistic production workflow
  • Prioritize the viewer before themselves
  • Consider the larger picture
  • Align with brand goals


Since then, I've started a my own business helping brands & creators create content that gets them discovered, and most importantly, content that works for them. Many brands spend too much time, money, and energy on the overproduced content only to get no views.


I've helped businesses of all sizes find their own groove in the video world by utilizing their available resources, designing practical workflows, and creating thoughtful content with intention to reach their target audiences.


I believe anyone with specialized knowledge/experience can create videos that impact people they would have never been able to reach otherwise. The only real qualification is being open to trying new things and being dedicated to doing the work.

        One of my favorite parts of this program was how real she kept it the whole time and brought her own experience to what she was teaching. It gave us permission to have those worries - the transparency removes the veil of how difficult things can be.
