About Me &
What Makes Me Stand Out
About Me
I started out as a Registered Nurse and worked for non-profit organizations in the healthcare sector before starting my own business. My experience allows me to see the impacts of non-profit organizations on social and healthcare issues. I have worked in various functions, from planning and project management (multi-million dollar strategic expansion projects), and business analysis, to grant writing and grant management (multi-million dollar cooperative agreements under various federal agencies).

What I Bring to Your Project
My diverse knowledge and skillset provide a more comprehensive service than traditional grant writing services. Grant service is more than just writing the project narrative and creating a budget. There are technical requirements by federal agencies, states, or grant funders that are very detailed and specific. Then there are required forms and attachments that take time to assemble. I do more than just write the project narrative. My attention to detail ensures that the work is well planned and managed so that a high-quality proposal will be submitted ahead of the deadline.
Read on to see how my knowledge and skills are assets to your organization.
Writing
Project narratives supported by facts and data to highlight the needs of the population served and capture your unique programs and services corresponding to the funder's goals and objectives.
Performance reports on progress and continuous quality improvement (CQI)
Benefits:
Responding to the funder's specific requirements and evaluation criteria, standing out among many and improving a chance of winning.
Leveraging my knowledge and skills in grant/technical writing and data analysis
Planning
Mapping out what needs to be done by when so that we have a sufficient amount of time to get the required documents and attachments ready.
Benefits:
Required documents and attachments will be ready for the grant submission ahead of the deadline.
Project management
Creating a project management document to map out all forms, attachments, and required materials with due dates and owners.
Following up and following through on what needs to be done, coordinating with members of your team.
Benefits:
Tracking all the additional forms and attachments required by the funder so that we will receive them timely for submission.
Tasks are coordinated to be efficient, eliminate rework, and maintain control over tasks and timelines.
Analysis
Data analysis to write a fact-based project narrative.
A cohesive project budget and narrative for the grant submission.
Survey and focus group questionnaire as part of a community needs and readiness assessment (CNRA) as required by many federal grants.
Benefits: This is a value-added as many other grant writers may not have this skill set.
Seamless and quality work so that all parts will fit a cohesive whole.
The services and the budget are consistent in the project narrative.
My knowledge and skills as an evaluator for the implementation of a federal grant.
Quality for Less!
By working with me directly, you will get the same high quality but pay less than what you would pay a grant writing agency, as I have lower overhead costs and this gets passed down to you. (Check out my Fees section to see how a grant writing agency may charge.)
You will work with one person and avoid dealing with different people and a potentially fragmented process that could impact the quality and timeline of your grant application.
