What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my expertise in grants management while fostering collaboration and compliance in a dynamic environment.

I am a dedicated Grants & Contracts Specialist with over 6 years of experience in pre- and post-award grant administration. My journey has equipped me with a robust skill set in budget preparation, compliance monitoring, and process optimization. I have a proven track record of supporting research, academic, and nonprofit institutions, ensuring that their grant processes run smoothly and efficiently.

In my current role at UMass Chan Medical School, I manage the complexities of federal and non-federal research grants and contracts. My responsibilities include supporting budget development, regulatory compliance, and proposal submissions, while also tracking renewals and amendments. I pride myself on being detail-oriented and highly organized, which allows me to liaise effectively with principal investigators and administrators to resolve issues and optimize funding.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated my ability to collaborate with diverse stakeholders and maintain operational excellence. My previous positions at Kennesaw State University and the American College of Rheumatology have further honed my skills in grants management and compliance, making me a valuable asset to any organization seeking to enhance their grant administration processes.
