I’m a professional editor and writer specializing in grant proposals, research-based content, and AI humanization. I help clients produce clear, credible writing that meets institutional standards and sounds authentically human. My background includes 20+ years across government communications, corporate marketing, and cultural journalism. I’ve written briefing materials for executive audiences, managed grant programs, and produced long-form narrative content. I understand how to adapt voice and structure for different stakeholders—whether that’s foundations reviewing grant proposals, executives reading internal communications, or general audiences engaging with web content. I specialize in three areas: Grant Writing & Proposal Development – I write and edit grant applications for nonprofits and cultural organizations, with experience translating mission and impact into persuasive, fundable narratives. AI Content Refinement – I take AI-generated drafts and transform them into natural, nuanced writing that sounds human. I know where AI overreaches, loses specificity, or creates tonal problems—and I fix those issues while preserving efficiency. Research & Editorial Services – I edit reports, white papers, long-form content, and documentation that requires accuracy, clarity, and attention to institutional voice. I deliver finished work on deadline. Clients value that I communicate clearly, understand context quickly, and return content that’s ready to use rather than requiring additional revision.
