I'm not your typical grant professional—and that's exactly why you should work with me. With a background in nonprofit leadership, public health, and strategic planning, I bring real-world experience and passion to every project.
With a master’s degrees in both public health and strategic leadership and have had more than 15 years’ experience in the nonprofit sector prior to entering the consulting field. I work exclusively with nonprofits in the US.
My experience in the nonprofit sector is ongoing and includes:
Co-chairing a regional arm of a CDC-funded statewide cancer coalition
Managing grant-funded projects in the public health field
Evaluating a federally-funded grant program serving individuals with co-occurring mental health/substance use disorders
Overseeing a community grant funding program at a nonprofit grantmaking organization
Training grant reviewers to score applications against specific criteria
Serving on nonprofit boards
Delivering grant writing trainings for nonprofits and graduate students
Coaching boards on leadership fundamentals
And, of course, applying for funding!
I live in Knoxville, TN (USA) with my husband and 4 rescue dogs.
