Meet The Team
Founder and CEO
(she/her)
I’m a grant strategist, relationship builder, and action-oriented leader with over 14 years of experience in grant writing and management. Before starting Holistic Grants, I held leadership roles in both nonprofits and consulting firms, including as Director of Development and Communications for a Minneapolis-based organization serving youth experiencing homelessness, Grants Director for a Minneapolis-based fundraising consulting firm, and Grants Manager for the PBS Foundation in Washington, D.C.

my approach
Before stumbling into a career in fundraising, I started my professional life writing legal briefs as a paralegal. Now, I combine my technical writing skills with activism. I see grant writing as a tool to connect community-driven leaders and solutions to wealth through grants. My sweet spot is helping visionaries and change-makers tell their story, quantify their impact, and raise more money through grants. I get into the weeds to understand what organizations need to be most effective, and then build the strategy to help make it happen. about me
Originally from the Philadelphia area, I am proud to now call Minnesota home. When I’m not thinking about grants, I’m probably playing in Minnehaha Creek with my husband and two boys, or curled up with a good book.
