I'm an accomplished NJ-based fundraising professional with 14 years of experience securing high-impact corporate, foundation, and government grants for mission-driven organizations. I'm adept at developing clear and compelling written communications for a range of philanthropic audiences. My core skill is translating complex programmatic initiatives into narratives that align with donor priorities and funding objectives.
