My Experience
After 4 1/2 years as a Grants Consultant, I have supported a variety of nonprofit and for-profit organizations, generating more than $7 million dollars in grant funding. I am driven to help organizations acquire the necessary funding to make a difference in the lives of people and important causes.
I bring a strong work ethic, responsiveness, attention to detail, and integrity to my business partnerships. My 20-year career in Public Health adds another dimension to my work.
Office Companions
Lucy and Maggie spend their days as part of my office team. They are committed to sleeping on the job!
