My approach to grants and fundraising is grounded in strategy and story. I believe funding follows clarity. Clarity of mission, clarity of programs, and clarity of leadership. From domestic violence shelters and historic preservation initiatives to youth development, workforce pipelines, and economic mobility efforts, I support organizations nationwide in moving from vision to funded reality. I serve in the public service space as a Program and Management Analyst, where I focus on project management, performance strategy, compliance, and risk mitigation. This perspective allows me to translate community-based work into systems that align with public funding requirements, ensuring organizations and businesses are not only fundable, but positioned for long-term sustainability. A core pillar of my work is capacity building with a social focus. I help nonprofits and socially conscious businesses strengthen internal systems, leadership structure, and program design so funding becomes a tool for growth, not a point of strain. For businesses, this means building the operational readiness, documentation, and strategic alignment needed to compete for grants, contracts, and public sector opportunities. I am a TEDx Third Ward Speaker and share my signature framework, 1200 Conversations, which explores how intentional conversation, connection, and access transform careers, communities, and legacy. At the center of this work is a guiding belief. Relationships, not resumes or titles, are the true currency behind opportunity. Legacy is at the heart of everything I do. I believe impact should outlive us by at least two generations, and that meaningful funding is about more than dollars. It is about dignity, structure, and access. My work supports leaders and organizations in building capacity, confidence, and long-term momentum. If you’re ready to move from survival mode into strategy mode, you’re in the right place.
