From Law School Dreams to NYC Website Design: My Journey to Building Digital Powerhouses
Three years ago, my world looked very different.
I had just wrapped up a Legal Studies degree with a 3.77 GPA, five years of paralegal and legal support experience under my belt, and my eyes locked on one target: Columbia Law. I knew the LSAT drill. I had the resume. On paper, I was ready.
But inside?
Burned out. Spiritually drained. Physically exhausted.
I was watching lawyers around me buckle under pressure. They were brilliant, hardworking, and buried — in paperwork, in deadlines, in debt. Some were still paying off law school in their forties. Others couldn’t remember the last weekend they weren’t glued to a laptop prepping for court.
I realized:
This isn’t freedom. This isn’t success.
So I did something most people in my circle thought was crazy.
I pivoted.
I took a commission-only sales job cold calling local businesses on 8th Avenue, selling digital ads in college yearbooks.
It wasn’t glamorous — but it was electric. That sales floor was alive. Whiteboards flipping numbers. Knicks tickets for top closers. Dopamine through the roof.
I was hooked.
That high-energy environment taught me more in three months than I’d learned in some college courses. How to talk to business owners. How to sell an idea in under 60 seconds. How to handle rejection — and keep going.
And more importantly, I learned the one thing every entrepreneur has to master:
How to create value and communicate it fast.
From there, I joined a fast-growing digital marketing startup in NYC. My job? Help build their cold call team from scratch. I brought in reps from my old job. We scaled. We sold SEO. Google Ads. We onboarded clients. I had $16,000 days on Google Meet.
I saw firsthand how digital strategy — when done right — could transform businesses.
I also saw how most companies were completely lost.
They had outdated websites, no tracking, no optimization, and they were getting fleeced by agencies that delivered zero ROI. Contractors, restaurants, law firms, even engineers — all spinning their wheels online.
That’s when I realized I could do better.
That’s when Orbital Marketing Agency was born.
I started small — just a few website builds here and there. Then blog posts. Then full SEO audits. Before I knew it, I had developed a repeatable system that could take a local business and turn their website into a 24/7 sales rep.
Not a brochure.
Not a placeholder.
Not a pretty homepage that nobody clicks.
A lead-generating, trust-building, Google-ranking machine.
Today, I build custom websites for businesses across New York City, Westchester County, and Manhattan that actually work. No fluff. No bloat. Just clean design, strategic SEO, and clear calls to action that drive results.
✅ 1,400+ blog posts written and published (yes, really — and all SEO-optimized)
✅ 77 keywords ranked on Page 1 of Google (and climbing)
✅ 100+ websites launched — for contractors, engineers, restaurants, lawyers, and more
✅ Countless cold calls made (still do them — because great things come from real conversations)
✅ A system that turns outdated sites into high-performing digital storefronts
And the best part?
I get to work with business owners who care — who love what they do but need help showing it online. Whether it’s a contractor in the Bronx or a wellness brand in Midtown, I bring their vision to life on screen.
In a market as competitive as New York City, your website isn’t optional. It’s not “nice to have.” It’s mission critical.
If your website doesn’t load fast, speak clearly, or guide visitors toward action — you're losing business every single day.
And in places like Westchester County, Peekskill, and Manhattan, where reputation and first impressions mean everything, an outdated or confusing site can destroy trust before a potential client ever calls you.
I’ve seen this story play out hundreds of times. And I’ve made it my mission to fix it — one business at a time.
If you’re a:
…I’ve built sites just like yours — and I can show you exactly what works.
I don’t use templates. I don’t outsource cheap builds.

It’s not just about design.
It’s about:
That’s what separates pretty websites from powerful ones.
And that’s what I build — every single day — from a mountain town just outside NYC, fueled by early mornings, coffee, and a serious passion for helping small businesses win online.
It should be your #1 salesperson — working 24/7 to bring in leads, build trust, and support your revenue goals.
And if it’s not doing that?
Then it’s time to change the game.
