Welcome to Writing With Life In Mind!
Hello, and welcome! I’m Jillian, and I’m so glad you’ve stopped by. Here you can explore my blogging journey, professional background, and catch a glimpse of my life beyond work.
My Blogging Story
I began blogging 15 years ago, sharing life experiences, useful tips, and practical advice with the hope that others would find it beneficial. Life is always evolving, bringing new lessons and better ways of doing things. I write on a variety of topics, including new recipes, book reviews, travel recommendations, financial advice, parenting experiences, and pet care tips. I’m always open to blog ideas or topic suggestions—send them my way, and I’d be happy to write about them!
Professional Background: Digital Marketing Extraordinaire
I started my digital marketing career as an SEO content writer, creating copy for clients across a variety of industries. My focus was on developing informative, engaging, and valuable content, including blogs, articles, and website copy, all with the goal of helping increase clients’ search rankings and drive organic traffic.
As I gained experience, I expanded my skill set to include other areas of digital marketing such as social media marketing, graphic design, link building, and reputation management. Now with over 15 years of experience under my belt, I’ve successfully developed and implemented digital marketing strategies that enhance the online presence of clients ranging from regional and national businesses to international, B2B, and B2C companies.
Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work with small to mid-sized businesses as well as large corporations. My client portfolio spans industries such as technology, healthcare, education, real estate, law, manufacturing, entertainment, retail, beauty, and finance.
The creativity, strategy, and competition in digital marketing are what truly drive me. I’m passionate about meeting clients’ needs and helping them succeed in the digital world. I’m excited to continue my career in this field, helping businesses shine online.
Life in Focus: Mama, Fitness Fanatic, Nature Photographer, Book Lover, and True Crime Buff
I’m a lifelong Jerseyan, born and raised in South Jersey, on the outskirts of Philadelphia. After spending a few wonderful years in Colorado, which deepened my appreciation for nature’s beauty and the outdoor adventures it offers, I now call Pennsylvania home. I truly believe I’m right where I belong.
I’m a passionate Philadelphia sports fan, happily married to my husband, who roots for rival teams. It’s an odd dynamic, yes, but it certainly keeps things fun. We’re proud parents to a free-spirited and fearless little boy, full of adventure, and an adorably curious baby girl with an infectious smile. Being a parent is my greatest strength. It’s both challenging and rewarding, with something new to learn every day. My kids inspire me to grow just as much as I help them grow. We’re also fur parents to two dogs who claim the couch as their own and enjoy the same level of spoiling as any family member.
I have a passion for photography, capturing the beauty of nature, landscapes, and man-made elements. Feel free to explore my photography website to view examples of my work and discover more of the nation’s beauty.
I’m an avid reader and enjoy diving into romcoms or intense true crime books, though I’ll read just about anything. Staying active is a priority, and you’ll often find me getting in a Peloton workout. I love cooking and am always open to trying new recipes. As a Jersey native, I have a deep love for diners, pizza, and bagels—and of course, the ocean.
Some additional interesting facts about me:
- I’m a Golden Girls and I Love Lucy superfan
- I have a habit of buying more books than I can possibly read
- I’ve found that happiness and travel go hand in hand
- One of my life goals is to visit all 50 states
- Volunteerism is important to me, and I regularly participate in charity walks
- Fall is my favorite season, and I love all things pumpkin
Follow along with me as I navigate this crazy adventure called life. If you have any questions or want to learn more, I encourage you to get in touch—I’d love to hear from you!
