about nerdie interactive

Why are you “nerdie”?

Simply said, I’m a geek for learning new things (and I was voted “Most Likely to Study on a Saturday Night” in college). And no, Urkel from Family Matters is not my idol.  A friend in college started calling me “nerdie” and the nickname stuck.

A Few Facts about Nerdie Interactive

I’ve been interested in online marketing since the days of ICQ, IRC Chat, Winamp, and Geocities homepages. Those were the days when downloading an MP3 on a 28K modem took hours. Since then, I’ve been fortunate to work in a variety of marketing roles ranging from offline marketing functions like event marketing and marketing communications to online marketing (my true passion) including SEM/SEO, web analytics, and social media. Here are my vitals:

• Proud Virginia Tech Hokie – B.S., Marketing Management with a Minor in Communication Studies, Virginia Tech, Class of 2002 and MBA Candidate, Virginia Tech, Class of 2009
• Experience in a variety of industries: hospitality and tourism, multi-housing, specialty/recreational vehicles, photography, and financial services
• I’ve managed SEM campaigns, SEO, web analytics, and e-mail marketing for large companies and start-ups.
  
• I’ve volunteered with several organizations over the years including the Virginia Beach Public School System, Norfolk Public School System, the City of Norfolk’s Project Homeless Connect, and the Young Filipino Professionals of Hampton Roads.
