With over 10 years of experience in the post-secondary sector and a strong background in public-private partnerships, I specialize in grant writing and strategic planning to help organizations amplify their impact. I’ve navigated a diverse funding landscape—from community-based grants to national research funding bodies—and bring the expertise needed to identify the best opportunities for your mission.

Is your team stretched thin writing grant proposals? Are you looking to develop a clear funding plan or need guidance to map out your organization’s next steps? Perhaps you’re seeking the right tools to help your team evaluate programs and services more effectively. Let’s connect—I’d love to support your work and help you reach your goals.

My services

Grant writing

I offer flexible grant-writing services on an hourly basis, giving your team the space to focus on what matters most. Whether you need support completing proposals, a full-service writer to manage the process from start to finish, or a skilled editor for a final review, I’m here to help.

Strategic planning

Whether you’re a new start-up or an established organization, I can help you define your mission, vision, and values—and, more importantly, turn those ideas into actionable steps and measurable outcomes. Let’s collaborate to build a custom plan that aligns with your goals and sets you up for success.

Program evaluation

A strong program evaluation toolkit helps you measure your impact and demonstrate your value to funders and donors. I can help you design the right tools, train your staff, or create a comprehensive program evaluation plan. Let’s find the approach that works best for you.
