I earned a bachelor's degree in English with a Minor in Political Science from Colorado State University while working as an auditor and legal assistant and thinking about pursuing law. In the midst of this, I stumbled into a job as a foundation employee at a local hospital, where I learned the intricacies of a nonprofit organization, fundraising, and program/project management. This is where my passion for nonprofit began. Through the years I've worked in just about every nonprofit position there is, from database coordinator, program manager, volunteer coordinator, development officer, and executive director, to board president, and everything in between. In 2014, I earned designation as a Certified Grant Writer® from the American Grant Writers' Association, and decided to work independently, allowing me to contribute to communities by helping nonprofits realize their goals. 

​

My comprehensive understanding of what a nonprofit is and what it needs enables me to better understand your needs. As a grant professional and nonprofit consultant, I look forward to helping you achieve your goals.
