I was promoted to Content Management and learned to do keyword research and create content briefs. I was bit by the SEO bug, searching the internet to learn everything I could. In my search for information, I found the Women in Tech SEO Facebook group. They gave me the courage to dig deeper and get paid to learn with my agency. Four years later, I still love it.
