A writer with expertise in nonprofit grant proposal writing, program development, and technical writing, I have helped to raise over 2 million dollars in funding for initiatives that help to conserve our oceans, provide education and health for youth, preserve rivers and migratory passages in Yellowstone National Park, and protect wildlife and their habitat internationally.

I hold a Bachelor of Health Sciences from Louisiana State University and have lived and worked abroad in various capacities. I have been actively involved in multiple initiatives to protect marine ecosystems, including my former roles as an Ocean Steward for the Pacific Whale Foundation and a Grants Department Advisor for Seaside Sustainability, Inc. I have been contributing to the preservation of marine life and habitats as a freediver, removing marine debris from Maui's south side ocean reef weekly for the past five years.

I have worked as a writing coach for Pearson Education and have also collaborated on professional projects, including my published work in anatomy education in 2021 for Anatomy Land and my 2024 article for the Grant Professionals Association, How can you stay connected when working remotely as a grant professional? I have conducted grants management and proposal writing training seminars for organizations, empowering nonprofits to secure the necessary funding to continue and grow their important work.

Through her role as a Grants Specialist, I use my writing and management skills to support organizations in achieving their missions. Driven by my deep commitment to making a positive impact, I am dedicated to helping individuals and groups who are working to make a difference.
