In my grant consulting engagements, I developed and executed funding strategies that secured approximately $223,000 in new funding in 2026. I also developed about 25 proposals and letters of intent for four clients across six funders, earning six awards, including a $150,000 housing navigation award.

I research and evaluate funding opportunities, prepare proposals and budgets, and coordinate contributors to keep submissions on schedule. I also manage awards from pre-award through post-award and built a compliance and data tracking system for expenditure and outcome reporting.

At DoorDash, I developed validation protocols and QA checklists that cut data discrepancies by 30%. For Raya Health, I structured an early concept for a postpartum mental health platform into an evidence-informed program model that led to a funded pilot.
