Continuously enhancing my knowledge in nonprofit grant proposal writing, organizational and program development, and technical writing, I have helped to raise over $7.7 million in funding for initiatives that help to conserve our oceans, offer education and programming for youth, provide shelter for those in need, preserve rivers and migratory passages, and protect wildlife and their habitat internationally.

As Founder of Blue Habitat Conservation, I lead an organization dedicated to protecting the biodiversity of aquatic habitats through the removal of foreign debris and inspiring stewardship to preserve natural ecosystems. From May to September 2026 alone, Blue Habitat removed 502 feet of fishing line, 23 golf balls, 71 lead weights, 4 snorkels, 15 hooks, 4 lures, 6 adjusters, and various miscellaneous items and plastic from Maui's reefs.

I am actively involved in multiple initiatives to protect international marine ecosystems and preserve marine life and habitats. I have conducted grants management and proposal-writing training seminars for organizations, empowering nonprofits to secure the funding they need to continue and grow their important work.

In my role as a Grants Specialist, I apply my writing and management skills to help organizations achieve 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.
