Summary
I discovered my true passion during J-term when I launched Growth Corner Marketing, combining my psychology background with my drive to help local businesses thrive. After seeing my dad's insurance agency struggle, I implemented a strategy that dramatically increased his organic search traffic and cut bounce rates. I've built this into a proven three-pillar approach: lead generation, conversion optimization, and maximizing customer lifetime value. Using GoHighLevel's powerful platform, I've already helped businesses transform their digital presence. Starting at just $300 monthly revenue, we're scaling fast - targeting 8 clients by August. And so, I'm on a mission to empower small businesses with psychology-driven marketing strategies that actually work.
