Expert Vetted - Top 1% Upwork freelancer with deep experience delivering high quality, on-time work. I help organizations win funding and government contracts. With 20+ years of experience across the nonprofit, corporate, and government sectors, I bring something most grant writers can't: I've sat on both sides of the table. I've written winning proposals and written the RFPs, reviewed submissions, selected vendors, and managed the contracts that followed. What I bring to each sector: For nonprofits, I provide full-cycle grant services — funder prospecting, proposal writing, grant management, compliance reporting, and funder relations. My experience spans federal, state, foundation, and corporate funding sources. One client I've supported since 2023 has more than doubled their annual operating budget, from $639K to over $1.4M, through a sustained grant strategy. Recent wins for another client include a $1.8M Economic Development Administration (EDA) award. For organizations pursuing government contracts, I understand procurement from the inside. I've contributed to more than $100M in awarded contracts across health IT, health and human services, and cybersecurity — leading proposal development, oral presentations, and contract negotiations for complex, competitive bids. For government agencies, I've managed federal and state grant funding end-to-end: applications, awards, compliance reporting, drawdowns, and sub-grantee oversight. I know what reviewers look for because I've been one. I hold a Master of Public Health from the University of Minnesota, which grounds my work in health and human services — one of the most competitive funding areas in the country. If you need a writer who treats your proposal like the high-stakes deliverable it is, let's talk.
