What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my nonprofit expertise and drive impactful results.

With 25 years of experience in managing grant portfolios and creating impactful content for nonprofit organizations, I have honed my skills in leadership and project management. My journey has been marked by a commitment to achieving both quantitative and qualitative results, ensuring that the organizations I work with can thrive and meet their goals.

Currently, I serve as a Grants Administrator at Habitat for Humanity Choptank, where I manage a portfolio of 20 active grant proposals, oversee program budgets, and ensure quality assurance in grant implementation. My previous roles, including Grant & Evaluation Manager at Chesapeake Charities and Communications Consultant for various organizations, have equipped me with a diverse skill set in research, writing, and digital communications. I take pride in my ability to create engaging content that resonates with audiences and supports organizational missions.

I am now seeking a position where I can leverage my extensive nonprofit expertise to contribute to organizational goals and drive impactful results. I am passionate about fostering collaboration and innovation within teams to enhance the effectiveness of nonprofit initiatives.
