How did the name The SEO QUEEN come about?
I was chatting with Fraser Hay, my business mentor, and coach. We decided to rebrand my old marketing company and came up with the name, The SEO Queen. I loved it, and I ran with it.

What inspired you to focus on helping business owners upscale their business?
When I was a web applications developer for Raytheon, I was well compensated and on the fast track. I had just graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and wanted to make an impact. I wanted to know that I was helping people live better lives through my work. This is why when I had the opportunity to work at smaller companies and then launch my own, I relished the opportunity to solve problems daily for business owners that needed my help. I love helping others.
What inspired you to play the violin?
When I was nine years old, my play cousin Michelle was playing the violin. I wanted to do everything that she did. I told my Dad that I wanted to play the violin, and he told me that I could not quit unless he gave me permission. 2 acoustic violins and 5 electric violins later, I am still playing, and my song Elevate Debuted at #8 on the Independent Music Chart in Europe (https://www.independentmusicchart.com/). I am currently #13 on the chart of 100 songs. I am so excited, happy, and blessed to be living the life of my dreams.
How do you balance motherhood, the music, and operating your marketing firm?
Doing business as a small business requires a lot of hat-wearing and flexibility. In addition, up until this year, I have bootstrapped my company 100% on my own. I am so fortunate to be a member of 2 outstanding organizations: The Los Angeles South Chamber and Connected Women of Influence.
What exciting things are happening with your music, and where can it be purchased? I was recently featured on the Indie Network Radio Show where my song played.
