What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead grant and nonprofit programs where I can build trusted stakeholder partnerships, improve operations and reporting, and translate organizational goals into measurable community impact.

I've led grant operations and stakeholder partnerships across Tennessee state government, the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee, and Save the Children.

As a Grants Analyst for the State of Tennessee, I manage concurrent grant initiatives, advise applicants, analyze program data, and build reporting tools that improve accountability. Previously, I managed community and economic development portfolios valued from $300K to $800K and created a tracking system that increased reporting efficiency by 30%.

At the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee, I evaluated more than 1,500 applications annually and reduced processing errors by 40%. I also lead onboarding, training, workshops, and cross-functional implementation work that helps nonprofit partners deliver stronger results.
