About Me
Welcome! I've loved writing since I was a child and was drawn to grant writing during college as a way to merge my desire to help create a better world with my love of language and communication. I have been writing grants ever since by working and volunteering for many nonprofit organizations over the past two decades.
As a grant writer, I am dedicated to helping organizations raise the funds they need to make a difference in their communities. I am especially eager to support teams that are committed to anti-racism, that understand and address the systemic roots of inequalities, and that center the agency and dignity of their program beneficiaries. Given my privileges as a cis white woman, I am committed to my own ongoing learning and un-learning about racism, ableism, capitalism, colonialism, and other oppressive systems.
I am a North Carolina native living in Durham with my partner and two young children. When I'm not writing grants I enjoy reading, yoga, and being outdoors.

I work from the unceded land of the Eno, Tutelo, Saponi, Occaneechi, and Shakori Native people. I acknowledge the ancestral and present land stewardship and place-based knowledge of the peoples of these territories.
