Professional Experience

2025 — Present

Digital Marketing & AI Automation Strategist

NPA Group

Brisbane, Australia · Remote

  • Architected a 90+ workflow n8n automation suite keeping GoHighLevel and 10 other platforms reconciled across 5 property pipelines without manual intervention; 64 workflows live in production.
  • Built a self-healing reconciliation layer that auto-creates missing pipeline opportunities, audits tags, and recreates dropped leads on a schedule, removing the month-end manual audit that used to catch these errors after the fact.
  • Consolidated 8 property portal and ad-source lead formats into one enrichment-and-routing pattern with a redundancy catch-net, so no lead lands untagged, unassigned, or duplicated.
  • Designed and deployed an email builder app serving 2 audiences from one codebase, an internal builder for the marketing team and public no-login approval pages for clients, with two-way GoHighLevel sync and a timestamped audit trail on every sign-off.
  • Shipped a real-time reporting dashboard unifying CRM leads and property sales that surfaced $3.33M in sales for a single project alongside cost per lead and cost per sale, plus a weekly summary email that sends itself.
  • Design and build the EDM program across 8 developments: on-brand property campaigns assembled from structured fields rather than hand-written HTML, each passing a preflight check before it sends.
  • Replaced a manual month-end reconciliation with an Asana-to-Xero billing workflow that turns tracked time into validated, deduped invoices, with a dedupe guard that prevents double-billing on re-runs.
2024 — Present

Founder & Automation Consultant

Ventryx.ai

Cebu, Philippines · Remote (clients in Australia, US, Philippines)

  • Run CRM and automation infrastructure for 6 retained clients across Australia, the United States, and the Philippines, built on GoHighLevel, n8n, and Make.com.
  • Built a GoHighLevel CRM around one enquiry-to-enrolment pipeline for an Australian training academy: AU$930K of pipeline valued and tracked, AU$122.5K won, and an 18.99% enquiry-to-won conversion rate measured rather than estimated across 179 live opportunities.
  • Designed and built funnels for 7 coaching and advisory brands, including migrating 9 offers off Kartra into GoHighLevel with funnels and automation rebuilt for each.
  • Built 4 assessment and scorecard funnels that score in the browser in custom JavaScript and post to CRM webhooks, adding segmentation GoHighLevel cannot do natively.
  • Manage Meta and Google ad accounts for retained clients against ROAS and cost-per-lead targets, wiring lead capture directly into the CRM for speed-to-lead follow-up.
  • Document every workflow with Slack failure alerts and an off switch the client can reach without me, so systems stay operable after handover.
2022 — 2024

Meta Ads Strategist

CA Marketing (Contract)

Sydney, Australia · Remote

  • Owned $30K/month in Meta ad spend across auto finance, truck finance, printer finance, and POS finance on a pay-per-lead model, where every lead was billed on qualification rather than volume.
  • Structured campaigns and creative around finance-vertical compliance constraints, keeping accounts live in a category where ad rejections and account restrictions are routine.
  • Built and iterated lead-form and landing-page funnels per finance product, segmenting by asset type and applicant profile so the sales team received pre-qualified leads instead of raw enquiries.
  • Reported weekly on cost per lead, lead-to-application rate, and cost per funded deal, moving budget toward the finance verticals that actually closed rather than the ones that filled forms.
2022 — 2024

Meta Ads Strategist

Red Herring Digital (Contract)

Sydney, Australia · Remote

  • Managed $20K/month in Meta ad spend across ecommerce, construction, and home improvement, running ROAS-driven catalogue campaigns and lead-generation campaigns from a single account structure.
  • Ran full-funnel creative testing on hook, format, and offer through structured A/B tests, retiring fatigued creative before cost per acquisition drifted rather than after.
  • Implemented Meta Pixel and Conversions API tracking so server-side events survived iOS signal loss and attribution stayed reliable enough to make budget decisions on.
  • Built retargeting and lookalike audience structures from first-party customer data, lowering acquisition cost on repeat-purchase ecommerce accounts.
2020 — 2024

Media Buyer & Automation Specialist

Student Convert

Victoria, Australia · Remote

  • Designed and managed 20+ Meta and Google Ads accounts with monthly budgets up to $70K, consistently holding 6:1 return on ad spend.
  • Generated 21,583 leads across education, financial services, and HR verticals at cost per lead ranging $1.82 to $22.46, on campaigns run to a 21-month horizon.
  • Delivered 15,529 leads on a single HR lead-generation campaign at $16.49 cost per lead across $256,002 in spend, sustaining volume over a 21-month run.
  • Ran 48 concurrent Meta campaigns in a single month at $32,246 spend (January 2024), and a parallel Google Ads program at $28.7K/month delivering $28.71 cost per conversion on a $1.85 average CPC.
  • Built GoHighLevel funnels and marketing automations that lifted lead generation 25%, converting a manual follow-up process into automated nurture.
