I'm not your typical grant writer—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.

I don’t just write grants; I craft compelling narratives that reflect your mission and drive success. I partner with you to turn vision into action—and celebrate the wins along the way.

I’ve earned 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.
