I have spent the better part of a decade making sure complex, high-stakes work actually gets done, across project management, operations coordination, bid management, and revenue operations. I managed RFP and grant workflows end to end, the kind of deadline-driven, detail-heavy work where nothing can slip. I've moved into project management, owning cross-functional coordination, stakeholder communication, CRM management, and process improvement across active accounts. Last quarter alone I coordinated grant and RFP submissions that secured over $1.2 million in funding across multiple clients, and I currently manage several of those engagements through active reporting and compliance deliverables. Over time that experience has expanded into broader operations support including SOP development, workflow automation, pipeline management, executive support, and virtual assistant work for founders and small teams. I am comfortable working across tools like HubSpot, Notion, Asana, ClickUp, Monday, and Google Workspace, and I can jump into whatever system a team already has running without needing hand-holding. My background in project coordination and operations management means I think in systems, track what is moving and what is stalled, and take ownership of the execution layer so leadership does not have to chase things down. If you need a reliable operations manager or project coordinator who works independently, communicates clearly, and keeps everything moving, that is exactly how I work.

Hello! I'm a grant writer, researcher, and program development specialist with a strong background in securing funding for nonprofits. I have successfully helped organizations obtain federal, foundation, and local community grants, leveraging my expertise in fundraising strategies and proposal writing. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Health Education with a concentration in Public Health from Montclair State University and have received specialized training from Rutgers University's Institute of Ethical Leadership, The Foundation Center/Candid, and the Center for Nonprofits. My passion lies in supporting nonprofits that focus on sustainable health programs, homelessness prevention, education initiatives, and equity-driven models for marginalized communities. With a deep commitment to social justice and public health, I craft compelling proposals that align with funders' priorities and drive meaningful impact. ⚠ **Important Note on Grant Funding: While I bring extensive experience in crafting strong proposals, grant funding is highly competitive. Success depends on various factors, including proposal quality, alignment with funder priorities, and available funding. Even well-prepared applications may not receive funding due to competition. I encourage a diverse funding strategy to maximize opportunities and long-term sustainability. Let’s work together to develop strategic, high-quality proposals that strengthen your organization's funding potential!
