I grew up in Colorado and am proud to once again call it home. I have decades of experience in the nonprofit and government sectors and I am a GPCI-certified freelance grant writer. I specialize in helping nonprofit leaders identify and clarify their organization's unique impact and how to use storytelling as a tool to open doors to funding and build community awareness and support. Since moving to Fort Collins in 2010, I have helped local nonprofits raise more than $12.3M to address needs in our community.
