About Me
About Me
I am a Nonprofit Consultant based in Macon, Georgia.
Since beginning my nonprofit career over six years ago, I have gained extensive experience fundraising, grant writing, speech writing, copywriting, and managing donor relations.
While serving as the Director of Communications at a nonprofit, I acquired firsthand experience understanding every aspect of running an organization, including forming budgets, creating and managing programs, and organizing fundraising events.
I graduated Summa Cum Laude from The University of Georgia with a Bachelor of Social Work in 2011 and a Master of Social Work in 2013. I also hold a certificate in Marriage and Family Therapy.
When I'm not working, I adore spending time with my niece and nephews, hopping in my kayak for a trip down the river, and burying my head in a good book.
My Work
Through grant writing and fundraising events, I have raised several million dollars for organizations across the country.
I've written grants for:
- at-risk youth
- community development centers
- people with spinal cord injuries
- low income households
- adults with developmental disabilities
- animal welfare organizations
- and more
Through my projects, I've successfully helped organizations:
- purchase new buildings
- increase mental health resources
- complete major renovations
- create jobs training, art education, and life skills programs
- expand existing programs
- install a playground
- acquire transportation
- hire staff
- and more
The best compliment I receive is when organizations tell me that I capture the heart of their work. It is an honor to learn their story so I can clearly convey their impact with potential funders.
