Hello there! I'm a dedicated sociologist and founder of a nonprofit organization.

I'm a grant writer who specializes in SBIR and STTR proposal, the federal, non-dilutive R&D funding that lets startups, inventors, and deep-tech founders commercialize their technology without giving up equity. I've written for NIH, NSF, and DoD/Navy solicitations. Top Rated, 100% Job Success, 5.0 across every engagement. Most of my clients have the hard part already solved: real technology, real data, a genuine breakthrough. What stands between them and the funding is a proposal that has to do two things at once satisfy strict federal compliance rules to the letter, and make a technical innovation legible and compelling to evaluators who may not share the founder's expertise. That's the gap I close. What I do: - SBIR/STTR Phase I proposals — technical volume authoring, cost volume construction, and budget structuring that stays within agency caps (including Base/Option splits where required). - Federal submission compliance — formatting, page and font limits, and multi-volume requirements verified against official agency instructions (DoD DSIP, Grants.gov, and agency-specific portals). - Technical writing & consultation — turning complex science and software into clear, evaluator-ready narratives. Recent work includes documentation and consultation for AI software, plus invention and patent-stage application writing. Recent highlight: I led a complete Navy SBIR Phase I submission for a GPS-denied timing-correction software technology, authoring the technical and cost volumes, engineering the Base/Option budget within Navy caps, bringing all seven required DSIP volumes to 100% compliance, and supporting the client through certification and on-time submission under real deadline pressure. The client endorsed the work as committed to quality, accountable for outcomes, and detail-oriented. How I work: I start with the solicitation and its evaluation criteria, flag eligibility or compliance disqualifiers before they cost you, then build a submission-ready package narrative, budget, and attachments with a clear checklist so nothing slips before the deadline. If you have an SBIR/STTR or federal R&D opportunity coming up, message me with the solicitation number and the due date. I'll give you an honest read on fit and exactly how I'd approach it.

I am an expert-level grant professional with 15 years of experience in all aspects of non-profit fundraising.

I am a senior Grant and RFP Writer with a proven record of winning county, state, federal, corporate, and foundation funding for organizations operating in highly competitive environments. Over the course of my career, I have helped clients secure more than $8 million in awarded funding, with a sustained win rate of approximately 63% across grants, RFPs, RFQs, and competitive procurement opportunities—consistently outperforming industry benchmarks. My work centers on transforming organizational capacity into evaluator-ready, compliance-driven, and strategically positioned submissions. I do not approach funding as a writing task alone; I approach it as a scoring, risk-reduction, and decision-making process. Every proposal I lead is intentionally structured to meet technical requirements, anticipate reviewer questions, and clearly demonstrate why my client represents the strongest and lowest-risk investment. I have led successful submissions for federal agencies including DOE, HUD, USDA, HHS, NIH, SAMHSA, SBA, DOT, and EDA, as well as state and county governments, corporate funders, and private foundations. These awards have supported clean energy initiatives, affordable and workforce housing, healthcare and public health programs, rural development, education access, workforce training, public safety initiatives, and social services delivery. On the RFP and government contracting side, I manage the full proposal lifecycle for opportunities ranging from $25,000 to over $3 million, including multi-year contracts exceeding $1 million in facility management, professional services, transportation, IT, and consulting. My experience includes SAM.gov registration and compliance, opportunity analysis, requirement mapping, development of technical and management volumes, pricing narratives, compliance matrices, and final submission coordination. What distinguishes my work is a deep working knowledge of public-sector compliance frameworks, including the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), OMB Uniform Guidance, and agency-specific evaluation criteria. This allows me to build proposals that are not only persuasive, but technically sound—meeting the standards that separate funded and awarded projects from those that are rejected or deemed non-responsive. Beyond individual submissions, I support organizations with grant research and funding pipeline development, strategic positioning, post-award support, and 501(c)(3) formation, including bylaws, IRS filings, and state registrations. Many clients engage me after missed opportunities or under tight deadlines; they continue working with me because the process becomes structured, transparent, and far more effective. I am known for my ability to operate under tight timelines without compromising quality. When deadlines are aggressive or opportunities arise unexpectedly, I move quickly to assess feasibility, establish a clear execution plan, and deliver with discipline. For non-federal opportunities, I routinely complete high-quality applications within 7–10 business days when appropriate, while also managing complex, multi-volume federal submissions with longer timelines. To ensure alignment from the outset, I offer a free initial consultation. This is a working session—not a sales call—where I provide candid guidance on eligibility, competitiveness, timeline risk, and strategic fit. Clients leave with clarity on next steps, whether or not we proceed together. My clients include nonprofits, startups, SMEs, corporations, and public-private partnerships across healthcare, education, energy, housing, technology, construction, transportation, and social impact sectors. Whether supporting a first-time applicant or an experienced organization pursuing highly competitive funding, my role is to reduce risk, sharpen positioning, and deliver submissions that evaluators can confidently recommend for award. I don’t make unrealistic promises. I provide clear strategy, disciplined execution, and measurable outcomes. Behind every proposal is an organization working to grow responsibly or create meaningful change—and I take that responsibility seriously. If you are seeking a grant and RFP professional who understands how funding decisions are actually made, who can perform under pressure, and who consistently delivers competitive, compliant submissions, I would welcome the opportunity to support your next funding effort. #ProfessionalGrantWriter #GrantWriting #FederalGrantWriter #GrantResearch #GrantProposalDevelopment #NonprofitGrantWriting #GrantApplication #ApplyForGrants #GrantFundingStrategy #RFPWriting #ProposalWriting #GovernmentContracts #RFQ #RFI #ComplianceReview #FARCompliance #OMBUniformGuidance #SAMGov #FundingStrategy #BusinessDevelopmentProposals #PublicSectorProcurement #SBIR #STTR #GrantsGov #USDA #DOE #HUD #HHS #NIH #NSF #NonprofitFunding #GrantManagement #PostAwardSupport #501c3Formation #NonprofitCompliance #ProjectManagement #DOCPreparation #BudgetNarrative
