Content writing, grant-writing, event management, and research for nonprofits or interesting startups. Over ten years experience in arts and culture nonprofits and small businesses. Jack-of-all here to get things done.
I'm also experienced in architecture, design and preservation research, and always keep an eye out for interesting projects in that niche.
Looking forward to working with you!
