With over a decade of experience in the banking, legal, and business consulting sectors, I specialize in presentation graphics, technical writing, and content strategy. I’ve worked with several Fortune 500 law firms and consulting firms, creating high-impact PowerPoint presentations, drafting and proofing legal documents, developing RFPs and grant proposals, and documenting workflow processes with precision and clarity. My skills span across MS Office, Adobe Creative Suite, and a variety of project management and writing tools. I’m known for being fast, efficient, collaborative, and an excellent problem-solver—with strong research abilities and a deep understanding of AI-assisted workflows. Beyond corporate communications, I’m also an award-winning storyteller, screenwriter, and former business owner with a background in branding, editorial strategy, and marketing. I was recently selected for the 2025 NBCU Launch Television Writing Fellowship, a competitive program that honors fresh, compelling voices in media. As a Columbia-educated English Lit major, I’ve brought creative insight and sharp messaging to everything from technical manuals and business plans to ebooks and investor pitch decks. Whether I’m interviewing subject matter experts, synthesizing complex data, or streamlining content for clarity, I bring strategy, structure, and polish to every project. I’ve successfully completed 60+ projects on Upwork and enjoy working with clients who value versatility, creativity, and thoughtful execution. I’d love to learn more about your needs and explore how I can help bring your ideas to life.

I am a dedicated, driven government contracts professional with a proven record of project delivery and nearly 15 years of experience in federal, state, and local procurement. I can help you at all stages of the government procurement process, whether you are just getting started or looking to expand an established line of business. My experience includes bid and proposal drafting, small- and disadvantaged- business status issues, the 8(a) program, GSA schedules, teaming arrangements, and contract administration. I gained this experience both as a procurement attorney on behalf of government contractors, and inside of a government agency. Now, I bring this my knowledge to bear on behalf of clients in a consulting and advising role. My services include: **Proposal Drafting** - Throughout my career, I have seen the mistakes and pitfalls that cause proposals to get rejected (or that cause agencies to fail to recognize the value presented by a proposal). Just as I have done for many other clients, I will work with you avoid these mistakes and put your best foot forward. I strive to understand your industry, understand the benefits that you bring to the table, and help ensure that we present your company in the best light possible through clear, succinct, and persuasive proposal writing. I can assist with state, local, or federal procurement solicitations. **Business Development Consulting, Opportunity Identification** - Do you want to get in to the government contracting market, but not know where to start? I advise my clients on entry paths to success in government contracting, including state and local procurement, subcontracting opportunities, and small-business set-aside opportunities. For my up-and-coming clients as well as more established government contractors, I assist with business development through locating state, local, and federal contracting opportunities relevant to your business. **Size and Status Programs** - Many government contracts are reserved for small businesses or business owned by certain categories of people (women, disadvantaged minorities, veterans, etc.). Understanding what programs are available, and successfully navigating the application processes, can be a daunting task. I help helped many clients navigate the world of self-certified statuses and status certification programs like SDVOSB, the SBA's 8(a) program, and state-level minority ownership certifications. **Mentor/Protegée, Teaming Agreements, and Joint Ventures** - Sometimes, the best way to pursue a government contract is by pooling resources -- between two businesses with complementary skillsets, or between an up-and-coming small/disadvantaged business and a larger partner. I have assisted my clients with drafting the necessary agreements and obtaining government approval to pursue procurement opportunities in this manner. I look forward to hearing from you, and to discussing how we can work together to help grow your government contracting business.
