About Me
I work with nonprofits on writing grant proposals, researching funding opportunities, and developing communications materials. Seeing my work contribute toward positive change in our society is what motivates me on a daily basis.
I came into this career path after searching for more purpose driven work following fifteen years of working in PR and marketing for technology companies in San Francisco and Sydney, Australia. This experience has given me an extensive skillset in writing, storytelling, and project management that I’m thrilled to be applying to the nonprofit space.
A native Californian, I live in the San Francisco Bay Area with my husband and two young kids. When not busy parenting, I love exploring our natural surroundings, volunteering in the community, yoga, and reading.
Expertise
I have direct experience working with nonprofits that focus on youth development, family homelessness, workforce development, STEM education for girls, commercial sexual exploitation, and resources for first-generation college students. I’m available for contract and subcontract opportunities.
