What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to leverage my grant writing and healthcare expertise to make a meaningful impact in emergency management and community health.

I am a dedicated healthcare professional with extensive experience in grant writing and emergency management. Over the past two decades, I have successfully applied for approximately 220 grants, achieving a remarkable 90% success rate and securing over $1.5 million in funding for various non-profit organizations. My focus areas include law enforcement, emergency management, and healthcare, where I have developed a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by these sectors.

In addition to my grant writing expertise, I have held various nursing roles, including Patient Access Nurse Manager at Tufts Medical Center and Emergency Management Director for the Town of Petersham. My leadership in these positions has allowed me to coordinate emergency preparedness activities and manage disaster response efforts effectively. I am passionate about improving community health outcomes and enhancing emergency response capabilities through education and training.
