Services

With 20 years in the nonprofit sector, I bring a wealth of experience and a “soup to nuts” skillset in researching and landing grants, measuring outcomes, and crafting engaging communications collateral. 

I help organizations amplify their impact through grants, evaluation, and communications.

I believe that the common thread between these three areas is the importance of a well-crafted story.
