    I am a professional writer and owner of Bridgewater Writing & Grant Services. I have written grant proposals that secured over 15 million dollars in funding to date from both federal and private programs. I have written proposals for the Department of Education's Strengthening Institutions, USAID, SBIR, USDA, National Science Foundation, Lilly Endowment, National Institute of Health, the Small Business Association's Community Navigator, the Association for Community Living, and the American Academy of Dermatology, in addition to private grants like Chase Bank, Draper, Richards and Kaplan, and Robert, Woods, Johnson's Innovation opportunity. I have also assisted with postdoctoral research grants. I enjoy the grant-writing process and love to help others secure funding for their projects. I am a member of the Grant Professionals Association. I am also an editor with over 10 years of experience working with academic texts, a Master's in English, and a PhD in Higher Education Leadership. I have taught English Composition to students from a variety of backgrounds at the college level, and I oversaw writing support at a university, where I trained faculty and students on writing techniques. I have edited dissertations in fields ranging from medical to engineering, and my own dissertation (on multilingual support in higher education) won a research award. I have published book chapters and academic articles, so I am familiar with the expectations of journals and dissertation committees. I am an expert at correcting grammar and punctuation, and I can work with APA, MLA, APSA, Chicago, and Harvard styles. Since I have published or studied in America, England, and South Africa, I can edit in American and British English. I have spent years teaching people to prevent plagiarism, so my grasp of citations and incorporating sources is excellent. I have helped numerous students and professors publish their work, and I would love to help you! In addition to offering regular grant editing/writing services, I also offer customized workshops for individuals and staffs on how to write grants. I'm happy to work with your non-profit team, your department, or your small business on how to identify grants, what to look for in an RFA, and how to write the narratives and assemble the package. Prices for this service vary by staff size and time requested. Contact me for a quote. Please note that I will not write articles or assignments for you, as this is plagiarism, so please do not ask.

    I offer executive-level research and writing skills across many disciplines – academic, government, and business. Indeed, these skills are at the core of every endeavor undertaken from a Master’s thesis at Harvard through work in the government and business sectors. Each executive position demanded different types of writing projects: press releases, Requests for Proposals (RFPs), RFP responses, grant applications, strategic reports, and Op-Eds. Experience includes synthesizing data using standard techniques and applying summary findings to written texts. For example, work at the Department of Defense involved overseeing survey development and implementation and applying the findings to guidelines set by federal legislation, culminating in written reports to the President and members of Congress. I possess business and technical writing skills, authoring business plans, software user guides, legal texts, and pitch decks for funding acquisitions. I also have comprehensive business process experience with startup corporations, having built a company from nothing to a multi-million dollar operation in less than two years. Let's work together for high-quality research and/or writing that optimizes your effectiveness.

    I am a grant proposal writer with experience working with nonprofit and national organizations. I have collectively secured over $112,000 of grant funds for my clients. I am passionate about working with my clients to acquire the funds to help their communities. I am currently enrolled at Vermont Law and Graduate School with a full tuition merit scholarship. I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Social Sciences with concentrations in Psychology, Comparative Ethnic Studies, and Political Science from Washington State University and my Associate of Arts and Sciences degree from Columbia Basin College. I can assist you with any grant proposal or project, but these are the three most common services that I provide and the average amount of time that they require. 1. Grant opportunity searching: typically 1-3 hours. I will make a list of available grant opportunities tailored to your organization's goals and needs. I will include details about the grantor, application process, and next steps to apply for each opportunity. 2. Creating customizable sample answers for the ten most common grant questions: typically 5-10 hours. Every grant opportunity has a unique application and goal, but most include similar questions. I will write sample answers for each common question that will allow you to copy and paste a polished narrative directly into the grant application. I will also include optional tips for customizing these sample answers to address each individual grantor's goals. 3. Completing full individual grant applications: time varies based on each grant opportunity. Grants from private organizations typically take 10-15 hours, but larger government grants can take up to 40 hours. Each full application will be specifically tailored to the grantor in order to maximize your chances of winning the grant. If you have any questions or would like to discuss a project, please don't hesitate to reach out!

    Working as a business consultant with 100+ unique non- and for-profit clients has taught me how to effectively develop and communicate the vision of new startups; this experience directly translates to understanding what aspects of a technical writing piece need to be highlighted to entice new investors. I have started three of my own businesses and have helped many other entrepreneurs explore their ideas and then write strategic business plans, curate donor lists, and prepare comprehensive proposals. I have led the writing of concept notes and grants both independently and with multi-million dollar NGOs; written a global comparative analysis for the Timorese Government; and consulted on project design related to everything from food security to plastic recycling. While overseas, I started a nonprofit NGO and raised funding, handled a budget, and organized a 6-day event with over 40 participants in two languages. Throughout all of my work I have excelled at working with new ideas and programs, helping develop ideas into plans, and problem solving to make the visions of others into realities. I like making it happen. As an independent consultant, I plan and organize my work, develop deliverables, and report on my findings to my employer and stakeholders. Throughout all of my work I have proven myself to be self motivated, proactive, and highly organized. I have an engineering degree which allows me to dive deep into technical details; a marketing and entrepreneurship business background which allows me to handle the financial operations; and non-profit grant writing experience which allows me to interact with the government and donors sectors effectively. I was a branch manager for a marketing company and produced 13% growth in sales over my term. This marketing background provides me the perspective necessary to attract investors and address their unspoken concerns directly. I am excited at the prospect of working where I can utilize my big picture and detail oriented thinking while building long term relationships. I would enjoy the opportunity to discuss how my research and implementation experience would directly benefit your business.
