I have over a decade of experience writing successful grants for The Poetry Project, where I was Executive Director from 2007-2018, and am intimately familiar with applying for NYC state and city funds, as well as working with the NEA and private foundations. Recent clients include Belladonna* Books, Obsidian: Literature & Arts in the African Diaspora, the Economic Hardship Reporting Project, and Jazz Passenger Music Projects.

I also have experience in, and enjoy working on: building effective boards, large event planning, and creating new programs.
