Originally from Tacoma, WA, Tess spent a decade in Central Pennsylvania, where she earned her graduate degree at Penn State before setting out on an international adventure. She spent years as a digital nomad, freelancing and working abroad across 30+ countries before putting down roots in Denver, CO—drawn in by the mountains, outdoor lifestyle, and an international airport that keeps her travel-ready.
When she’s not optimizing websites or crafting marketing strategies, Tess is likely hiking, camping, skiing, or rafting in the Colorado wilderness. She’s also an artist at heart, passionate about languages, theater, music, aerial dance, cooking, and mixology. As an avid traveler, she encourages more women to explore solo travel and makes it a priority to embark on at least one international trip per year.
Tess blends strategic thinking with creativity and technical expertise, ensuring every project she touches is both well-optimized and engaging. Whether she’s refining SEO strategy, managing digital content, or leading complex web development projects, her focus remains the same: helping brands stand out in the digital space—and having a little fun along the way.
