What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead proposal and marketing efforts end-to-end—aligning strategy, compliance, and timelines—while partnering with teams and stakeholders to grow new business and deliver high-quality, client-centered results.

I’m a Proposal/Marketing Manager who organizes, plans, and controls work while integrating quality assurance into every phase. At Virtual Energy Solutions (SDVOSB), I managed proposal development for higher education, healthcare, and SF330, led kickoff discussions on proposal strategy, and coordinated award submissions for regional and national architecture competitions.

I also built and maintained the company website, and partnered closely with Strategic Business Unit leaders to develop annual marketing plans tied to business goals. Previously at BatesForum now LJC (a Clayco company), I owned the coordination, writing, and editing of statements of qualifications, proposals, presentations, and marketing materials—ensuring full RFP/Q compliance through a Project Execution Plan that tracked client-specified criteria.

Earlier, as a Senior Marketing Coordinator at SmithGroupJJR, I collaborated with technical staff to develop proposal sections and scopes of work, supported market research and studio budget planning, and managed lead/prospect inquiries using Deltek CRM. I’ve also served as Interim Marketing Manager at The WISH Center and currently bring that same practical leadership into professional development through SMPS—where I’ve been Education Director, guiding programs, speaker selection, budgets, and day-of logistics.
