About

Hey, it's Cathya or Cat for short. I am a Marketing and Community Ops professional with over 12 years of experience in the tech space specifically focusing on Digital Marketing. I am a versatilist, capable of wearing many different hats simultaneously. I find satisfaction in simple things - a well-designed experience, creating content that resonates, collaborating & starting new projects, building good relationships, and am motivated by my challenges. I'm results-driven and enjoy getting things done. Adaptability, strategic thinking, excellent interpersonal skills, a bicultural perspective, and an eye for detail are among my strengths. In addition to working great on my own, I love being a team player, and enjoy empowering others whether it’s other minorities like myself or someone from a completely different background. I work well in fast-paced environments (including startups or more mature companies). Y sí, hablamos español. I often find myself in front of a laptop, working on a medley of the following: Social Media Strategy, Copywriting, Community management, PR, Brand development, Marketing strategy, Data Analysis, User research, AI & search engine optimization, designing event experiences (IRL & virtual), Promotional & Content strategy, Blog & email writing + editing, content creation (content capture, producing, editing, video & photography), Operations. I know a lot about digital media, productivity, art, creativity, community building, entrepreneurship, tech and my freelance clients usually fall somewhere in my wheelhouse. I also love to learn new things and immerse myself in something totally different every now & again. I'm well versed in all digital platforms + tools needed to support digital content performance, including: * Content, Digital & Social Strategy * Digital Marketing * Community development & management * Copywriting & editing * Event Coordination + Production * Keyword Research * YouTube / Facebook / LinkedIn / Instagram / Spotify Ads * Social Media campaigns * Social for events & live productions * Social measurement & Analytics / Reporting * Blogging * Social listening * SEO + AI Optimization * Content capture & Creation (Reels, TikTok, LinkedIn & Youtube) * Email campaigns * WordPress * HTML/CSS * Project Management (Asana super-user) * E-commerce * Brand Marketing * Design for the web * User Engagement * Online investigations + Risk & Security * User Ops * Customer Support * Online Review Sites (G2, App Store, Google Play store, Trustpilot, Gartner) * Workplace Awards * Talent Marketing & Employer Brand
