Uniquely Prepared to Help You
I am uniquely prepared to help you. I studied at Columbia University (B.A, political science) and the NYU Wagner School of Public Service (M.P.A., nonprofit management), where I also honed my writing chops at the NYU Graduate School of Journalism.
The wonderful folks over at Big Duck taught me about branding and communications for mission-driven and service-focused efforts, through my many years of work for them as a communications strategist.
My experience also includes:
- Two decades of experience in the nonprofit sector, including experience leading a nonprofit board and spearheading its strategic planning and fundraising efforts, leading to a doubled annual budget
- Serving as a communications strategist to nonprofits, helping them refine their branding and communications and tell compelling stories to raise awareness and funding
- Experience developing compelling, successful proposals that garnered millions of dollars in funding (from principal and major donors; private foundations; and city, state, and federal government)
- Serving as a consultant to national foundations on writing and program evaluation projects
- Organizing a network of prominent funders committed to strategic dialogue and action to improve the lives of women and girls in New York City
- Serving on grant proposal review committees for New York City government and a private foundation
- Experience as an entrepreneur, including expertise in small business communications, outreach, and business development.
- Professional writing experience, encompassing both business writing and published creative writing.
