Nonprofit Professional

I have firsthand experience of the life-saving impact that nonprofits dedicated to helping those in times of crisis can have. As a grant writer, I am committed to serving those who want to make a positive change in the world, particularly those focused on improving the lives of individuals who have experienced homelessness and supporting veterans. I am driven to be part of the solution to end homelessness and to find more resources to help those in recovery from substance abuse and mental health illnesses. My work focuses on securing funding to prevent severe addiction by increasing the availability of mental health professionals and making their services accessible to veterans, as well as individuals experiencing domestic violence, abuse, and trauma. My journey from being on the receiving end of nonprofits' missions to now supporting them has given me a passionate perspective on the challenges and incredible power of community support. I specialize in grant writing, research, proposal planning, funding strategy, website design, social media management, administrative planning, and marketing. My particular focus is on helping those struggling with recovery, homelessness, abuse, and the youth population dealing with trauma. If you are committed to making a real impact, let's connect. Together, we can create a future where everyone has the valuable support they need for a fresh start!
