Marissa has been in content development since 2009, starting as a copywriter and adding skills along the way as the internet developed. She has worked with clients around the world to create and extend their online voices, and enjoys the process of learning about each organization to find the best way to help them overcome growth challenges. Marissa is also certified in UX/UI Design, Life Coaching, and Mindfulness.
In addition to her wealth of general content development experience, Marissa has extensive SEO content optimization experience, as well.
