***$3.3M raised for clients in 2022*** I'm a constructive partner and trusted advisor building capacity and skills to strengthen development teams. As an experienced project developer and manager, I know the challenges of balancing your mission and your budget. Does your nonprofit need to do more in the world? Are you at or beyond your capacity? If you want to get (or keep) your organization out of triage mode, send me a message and we'll set up a time to talk.

MISSION STRATEGY --Advised executive teams, boards, and project staff in development of new programs and revenue streams --Wrote community needs assessment and analyzed qualitative and quantitative research conducted by a local nonprofit, to be disseminated broadly to organizational, municipal, and funding partners.

Creating consumer-centric communications and evaluating their efficacy has been my focus for the past fifteen-plus years. As I’ve worked in the nonprofit sector most recently, being nimble and making the best use of my resources have been the keys to my success. I enjoy working on projects that present challenges but are also satisfying to complete. I have an undergrad degree in marketing and an MBA, so I always write with the end result in mind: what do I want my reader to do? Crafting any piece, I believe, starts with answering that fundamental question. I have extensive grant writing experience for both private foundations and government entities, so I am able to connect thematic areas to funding streams through thoughtful writing. I look forward to learning more about your next endeavor.Fundraising
