KIMBERLEY BROWN

Kimberley has been involved with whydontyou
from the very start. Her role is everything and anything to do
with Search Engine Marketing - that is making sure our pages are
well ranked in Google, Yahoo etc. Over the last few months her role
has evolved to not only look after the SEM part of whydontyou.com
but also managing product and the site.
Kimberley was brought up in Chile
and being biligual has allowed her to travel up and down
Spain and South America. She has taken her love of Brazil a
little further and is now a keen Capoeira enthusiast, gaining her
first belt in April 2008, and second belt in December 2008.
Next stop for Kimberley will be training in Salvador da Bahia,
Brazil with some of the top Capoeira Masters.
