À propos de moi
Nonprofit Consultant and Grant Writer
I help nonprofits turn meaningful programs into compelling, funder-aligned grant proposals.
With 20+ years of nonprofit leadership, development, and grant experience, I bring more to a grant project than strong writing. I understand how nonprofits operate, how programs are built, outcomes management, and what funders need to see to confidently invest.
As a Certified Grant Specialist and former nonprofit Executive Director and Director of Development, I have experience developing and refining foundation, local government, and federal grant proposals.
