What I'm looking for

I seek a mid-level role in hazard mitigation or grant management where I can lead mitigation projects, apply FEMA compliance expertise, collaborate with stakeholders, and grow in project leadership—ideally with flexible/remote work and measurable impact.

I am a project specialist with over four years of experience managing grants, mitigation projects, and construction draw processes.

Most recently I managed 30+ mitigation projects under the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program, overseeing pre-award review through award closeout and ensuring FEMA compliance.

At GrantWorks I managed construction draw processes and released CDBG funds across 20 concurrent projects ($100k–$500k), contributing to over 500 completed projects. Previously, I coordinated roughly 200 disaster recovery applicant files, maintaining documentation accuracy, confidentiality, and timely resolution.

I bring strong technical skills (Adobe Acrobat, SharePoint, Excel, Microsoft Teams, TIGR), a suite of FEMA mitigation and response certifications, and a collaborative, problem-solving approach. I partner well with agencies and teams that prioritize compliance-driven project delivery and clear communication.
