I'm a results-driven Grant Writer and Program Manager with over two decades of experience leading high-impact global development initiatives in health, education, conservation, and community empowerment. I specialize in managing multi-million-dollar grant portfolios, building cross-sector partnerships, and delivering strategic funding solutions that improve lives and expand opportunities worldwide.
In my most recent role with USAID’s American Schools and Hospitals Abroad (ASHA) program, I led grant management and oversight for over $84M in global funding, chaired Technical Evaluation Committees awarding $29M+, and ensured rigorous compliance, sustainability, and equity integration across all projects. From coordinating U.S. Embassy engagement to mentoring junior staff, I bring both strategic vision and operational discipline to every project.
My grant writing achievements span grassroots to federal levels—securing funding to support radio stations for public health education, reforestation in the Sahel, income-generating programs for women, and critical medical equipment access. My early work with the Peace Corps and International Rescue Committee sharpened my ability to write compelling, community-informed proposals and manage programs that drive real impact.
I’m passionate about helping mission-driven organizations grow their reach through strong proposals, evidence-based programming, and collaborative partnerships. Whether responding to urgent needs or advancing long-term development, I bring a blend of strategic leadership, field-tested expertise, and deep commitment to equitable, sustainable solutions.

TURN YOUR BUSINESS IDEA INTO A FUNDED, INVESTABLE REALITY
The difference between a funded venture and a forgotten proposal isn't the brilliance of the idea. It’s the depth of the evidence and the power of the narrative.
Most businesses leave critical funding on the table, not because their mission is weak, but because their documentation lacks the institutional-grade market intelligence that banks, investors, and grant committees demand.
I’m a business strategist with 8+ years of experience turning early-stage and existing business concepts into investor-ready business plans, data-backed market research, persuasive grant proposals, and pitch decks that get meetings and get money.
I don’t just write documents; I build data-backed roadmaps that turn skepticism into capital.
My clients have used my work to grow their businesses, secure funding from investors, banks, and grant committees across multiple industries and countries.

I help nonprofits and NGOs turn grant ideas into fundable proposals, especially when previous applications were rejected or felt unclear.
My focus is on aligning your project with funder priorities, strengthening the problem statement, and making budgets defensible.
If you’re applying to foundation, federal, or international grants, I can either write the proposal or review and strengthen what you already have.

I secure funding and win government contracts for nonprofits, startups, and businesses ready to scale their impact and revenue. Whether you're pursuing competitive grants, responding to complex RFPs, or establishing nonprofit compliance, I transform your capabilities into winning proposals that deliver essential resources and sustainable growth.
My Track Record:
Over three years, I've secured more than $2.8 million in grant funding and developed proposals for government contracts ranging from $100,000 to $12 million. My clients span energy, healthcare, housing, facility management, public safety, and social services sectors. With 91% Job Success and Top Rated Plus status across 80+ completed projects, I deliver results that matter.
What I Do:
I craft compelling grant proposals for federal agencies (DOE, NIH, HUD, USDA, SAMHSA), foundations, and corporations. I translate technical innovation and programmatic vision into narratives that align with funder priorities and secure awards. Beyond federal opportunities, I conduct strategic funding research and manage complete application lifecycles from concept through submission.
For government contracting, I develop compliance-driven proposals that position you as the contractor of choice. I navigate SAM.gov registration, decode complex RFP/RFQ solicitations, develop technical and management volumes demonstrating capability, create detailed cost proposals, and build comprehensive compliance matrices. My contract experience includes facility management operations worth $11.7 million, digital infrastructure, law enforcement coordination, transportation services, and professional consulting.
I also provide complete 501(c)(3) formation services including IRS applications, bylaws development, and state registrations for organizations establishing nonprofit status.
What Sets Me Apart:
My dual expertise in grant acquisition and government contracting gives you a strategic advantage—I understand how agencies evaluate both programmatic funding and procurement proposals. I bring deep knowledge of federal compliance frameworks including Federal Acquisition Regulation, OMB Uniform Guidance, and agency-specific requirements. This means your proposals meet the technical standards that separate funded projects and awarded contracts from rejected submissions.
My Approach:
I identify competitive differentiators, anticipate evaluator questions, structure narratives for maximum scoring impact, collaborate to incorporate your expertise, and manage aggressive deadlines without compromising quality. Clients choose me because I deliver proven results, communicate clearly, and understand that behind every application is an organization working to create meaningful change or sustainable growth.
Whether you need a grant writer who understands funder priorities, an RFP strategist who can win competitive contracts, or a comprehensive funding consultant who navigates complex opportunities, I bring the technical expertise, strategic insight, and persuasive documentation that transforms organizational capacity into funded programs and awarded contracts.
