Hire the Best Zurb Foundation Specialists in New York

With over 12 years of experience in the nonprofit sector, I specialize in helping mission-driven organizations strengthen their operations and grow sustainable fundraising strategies. I am currently pursuing my Master’s degree in Nonprofit Administration with a focus on fundraising and development, further deepening my expertise in donor engagement, grant strategy, and organizational effectiveness. My background spans nonprofit operations & program support, community engagement, and development support. I’ve worked on donor outreach, fundraising coordination, and internal systems that help organizations run more efficiently and scale their impact. In addition, I serve on the grant committee for my local animal shelter, where I help identify funding opportunities and support efforts to secure critical resources. I am in the process of launching an LLC dedicated to providing operations and fundraising consulting services to nonprofits and mission-driven businesses. Through this work, I aim to build long-term partnerships where I can provide consistent, high-quality support—whether that’s improving internal processes, assisting with grant research and writing, or strengthening donor relationships and campaigns. I am particularly interested in part-time, ongoing opportunities where I can integrate into your team, understand your mission deeply, and contribute to measurable, lasting results. If you’re looking for a reliable partner who understands both the day-to-day realities and long-term strategy of nonprofit work, I’d love to connect.

If you're a contractor or developer who needs senior preconstruction expertise without the overhead of a full-time hire — that's exactly what I do. Over the past decade I've managed construction programs exceeding $500 million in value across commercial, government, and rail infrastructure projects. My specialization includes signals, catenary systems, and communications work in the transit and railroad space — a combination few construction consultants can credibly offer. On the commercial side I've managed everything from ground-up new construction and tenant fit-outs to historic renovations and institutional facilities. Whether your project is a commercial build-out or a complex rail infrastructure program, the discipline is the same — tight preconstruction, clean systems, and no surprises in the field. For my clients, I typically handle preconstruction management, detailed quantity takeoffs, estimating, schedule development, risk analysis, and the systems that keep complex projects from falling apart. I don't just deliver documents — I build the operational infrastructure that helps smaller contractors compete and win like larger ones. What I actually do for clients: — Preconstruction management from concept through bid — Quantity takeoffs and preliminary estimates — Commercial construction management — ground-up, renovation, and fit-out — Rail and transit infrastructure project oversight — System creation and process documentation for growing contractors — Schedule development and risk analysis — Change order and RFI management Tools: Construct Connect, Microsoft Project, Smartsheet, Fieldwire, Excel, Word, PowerPoint I work with a small team that allows me to take on engagements of varying scale — from focused consulting on a single scope to ongoing fractional preconstruction management across your entire operation. If you need someone who has managed the complexity of major infrastructure and commercial programs and can bring that discipline to your business, let's talk.
