15+ years in workforce development, not as an outside advisor, but running programs, managing career centers, and delivering technical assistance on federal grants. I've reviewed approximately 100 grant proposals for the U.S. Department of Labor and City of San Antonio, so I know what scores well from the review side of the table. I've provided technical assistance to state workforce agencies across five states on a joint Department of Labor and Department of Justice reentry grant. I've directed operations across 12+ career centers. And I've designed career development curriculum that reached 30,000+ learners across 121 training centers nationwide. I also build technology for this space. I've developed two AI-powered platforms, one for workforce case managers and one consumer-facing, using the Claude API, React, and Supabase. When I advise organizations on AI adoption or technology strategy, I'm not theorizing. I've built it. What I deliver: Technical Assistance for Federal Grantees: program design, performance improvement, compliance guidance, cross-agency coordination. Direct experience with DOL and DOJ grant programs. Curriculum and Training Development: custom course design, e-learning development (Adobe Captivate), train-the-trainer programs, workforce readiness and career pathways content. Grant Writing and Proposal Support: technical narrative, program design sections, logic models, budget justification. I know what scores well because I've sat on the review side. AI and Technology Strategy: needs assessments, platform evaluations, implementation roadmaps for workforce organizations exploring AI tools. Practical guidance from someone who builds in this space. Background: MPA, Arizona State University. Adjunct Professor, BYU-Idaho. National conference presenter. Flexible scheduling. Clear deliverables. I do the work, no team of subcontractors, no handoffs.

From small startups to large technology companies, I’ve provided marketing and content consulting across a variety of industries — outlining actionable steps for improvements to processes, strategies, tools, and more, I currently run one of the foremost content agencies — creating many of the articles on industry sites you’ve not only heard of, but turn to on a regular basis. Trusted by the top companies in the WordPress industry, we create WordPress-based sites at a masterful level. Our team is small enough that you could learn all of our names, but big enough that we can quickly handle complex tasks. We’re nimble enough that you won’t be weighed down by bureaucracy, but strong enough that you won’t have to put together a mish-mash of resources to get everything done. A master of sales, marketing, and content, I can bring disjointed departments together for a more seamless customer journey and noticeable improvements to KPIs. Plus, I’m really friendly and fun to work with. Send me a message — I can’t wait to meet you!

Nonprofit digital marketer with 6+ years embedded inside a mission-driven museum, supporting fundraising, donor engagement, and event promotion. I help nonprofits grow awareness, attendance, and revenue through social media, email, and campaign-based storytelling. Rather than short-term consulting, my experience comes from being embedded in one organization, seeing what actually works (and what doesn’t) over time. I understand the realities nonprofits face: limited budgets, small teams, approval processes, and the pressure to deliver results that align with mission and stewardship. I now bring that experience to other nonprofits that need strategic, hands-on marketing support. What I Help Nonprofits With - 📩 Email marketing & donor journeys (segmentation, automation, appeals) - 💙 Fundraising campaign strategy (annual giving, matching gifts, challenges) - 📣 Social media strategy & management - Content planning & campaign storytelling - Organic growth on Facebook, Instagram & LinkedIn - Post copy, visuals, and engagement strategy - 🔁 Donor engagement & retention (first-time donor nurturing, re-engagement) - 🧠 Content strategy (impact stories, appeals, landing page copy) - 📈 Analytics & optimization (email, social, donation funnels) Why This Experience Matters - I’ve worked within real nonprofit constraints, not agency hypotheticals - I understand development teams, boards, and donor expectations - I’ve supported campaigns across multiple years, not just one-off launches - I care deeply about ethical fundraising and authentic storytelling Experience Highlight - Six years supporting digital marketing and fundraising for a nonprofit museum - Managed email, social media, and campaign messaging - Worked closely with leadership and development teams - Helped grow donor engagement and online visibility over time (Happy to share portfolio samples and metrics from this work.)
