I'm a grant consultant specializing in education and youth development. I help busy nonprofit leaders by managing the pre-award grant process (grant research, grant writing, and strategy) and by developing community-connecting content to reach constituents. I partner with mission-driven organizations in environmental education, STEM/STEAM education, college access and career readiness, literacy, and youth workforce development to name a few. I'm a member of the Grant Professionals Association/GPA New England, the Massachusetts Nonprofit Network, the Children & Nature Network. I hold an M.S. in Childhood Education and a B.A. in Communication from Russell Sage College.

I love finding and sharing new ways to learn, especially when it's connected to one's place. My time in the Montana Conservation Corps, AmeriCorps, and as a teacher changed how I view education- the chance to glean a sense of connection from nature is something I want every student to experience.
