My expertise includes: Funding: identification of grant/funding opportunities, development of grant application materials, grant proposal writing, submission, application tracking and more.

Communication is at the heart of everything I do. Combining artfully chosen words with images and design elements whenever possible, I help clients craft and deliver impactful messages. Whether I am writing in the health and wellness space, where my professional life began with dual Master’s degrees or developing narratives that support social impact initiatives, my goal is to form a connection with the reader. I am comfortable writing in virtually any format -- white papers for high-level policymakers, executive briefs and reports for business leaders, presentation slide decks for entrepreneurs, grant proposals for non-profit organizations, and all forms of marketing collateral including articles, blogs, e-books, landing pages, websites, and social media content. Creating content that inspires fresh perspectives, novel solutions, and pioneering initiatives that elevate the human condition and honor our planet is what I do best and love most. At the instant my words spark actionable ideas, that’s when the magic happens.

Whether you need help for your new, growing, or established nonprofit, I can help. My greatest passion is using my skills to help nonprofits grow so they can serve more people, animals, and the planet. With 20-plus years experience and a nimble, creative, detail-oriented mind, your projects...big and small...will garner great results. My fundraising and marketing experience includes multi-channel fundraising (annual fund, special events, donor acquisition/cultivation/stewardship, capital campaigns, etc.), marketing, grant writing/management, copywriting, creative direction, strategic planning, donor database management, and more. Of particular note is the success I had while Director of Development for Visiting Nurse & Hospice Care. In just two years (working in partnership with the Executive Director and board), we implemented fundraising strategies that had proven results: • 228% increase in annual fundraising results (from $700,000 to $1.6 million) • 227% increase in major gifts ($1,000+) (from 110 to 250) • 300% increase in major donors (from 81 to 205) • 269% increase in grant funding (from $223,000 to $600,000) I look forward to helping you reach your goals!
