Hello there! My name is Kelly Van Eschen and I’ve been hired to fill the role of SEO / SEM Specialist. It’s hard to believe that I’ve been here for nearly 2 months already but you know what they say about time – it flies when you’re having fun! Joining the team during the thick of the holiday season has at times seemed like a cruel initiation but it’s kept me busy and forced me to get up to speed quickly which is well worth the craziness.

I come to First Scribe with over 7 years of experience working in E Commerce. I’ve studied and applied theories and best practice on Web Design and Usability, SEO, SEM, Social Networking and E Mail Marketing. I’ve enjoyed working in all of these areas but am thrilled that I’m able to focus my efforts solely on SEM and SEO here at First Scribe.

My time outside the office is spent with my wonderful husband of 10 years and our 3 adorable cats. Winters are spent attempting to snowboard and then knitting in the lodge when snowboarding isn’t quite working. I love to travel – especially to island destinations that allow me to log some dive time. Summers are spent in the normal Minnesota fashion – being outdoors as much as possible.

I am so happy to have been given an opportunity to work with the talented First Scribe team and look forward to the journey ahead!
