Director of Grants
(she/her)

With over 15 years of experience in nonprofit executive leadership, strategic planning, and grassroots fundraising, I bring an insider's perspective to my grant writing. After earning my MS in Non-Profit Management from Columbia University School of Social Work, I founded and directed an intergenerational arts organization in Richmond, VA, and served as Executive Director for a statewide initiative in Minnesota. I've co-led community fundraising and organizing campaigns, and now, as Director of Grants at Holistic Grants, I specialize in supporting organizations focused on racial, health, and educational equity.

my approach

I love partnering with organization leaders to articulate their vision, demonstrate their impact, and secure sustainable funding. I bring a strength-based perspective to my work, turning complex organizational goals into clear, winning proposals.

about me

Originally from San Francisco, I'm proud to now call Minneapolis home, where I balance grant strategy work with staying active in local organizing. When I'm not moving money toward missions I believe in, I'm likely out riding my bike or exploring parks with my family.
