Environmental Professional with Federal grant writing experience

I have been on both sides of the grant process as a reviewer and writer, I help organizations craft competitive, compelling proposals that win funding. As a former federal grant reviewer, I understand exactly what funders look for, and as a freelance grant writer, I’ve applied that insight to submit over $100 million in grants to federal, state, and philanthropic organizations. My portfolio includes successful submissions across a wide range of sectors, including workforce development, renewable energy, community solar, AI startups, small business innovation (SBIR), USDA REAP, and community development. I’ve worked with clients in the United States and internationally, helping them identify opportunities, build strong narratives, and submit timely, compliant applications. I pride myself on being a collaborative partner, organized, communicative, and flexible, working in shared documents like Google Docs so my clients can track progress in real time. Whether you’re applying for your first major grant or expanding your funding pipeline, I’ll help position your project for success with strategy, precision, and clarity.
