For 12+ years I have been honing my skills writing elegant proposals that translate into funds for organizations. I have extensive experience working in the non-profit sector including the arts, health and education. I have been the lead role in grant awards for projects and programs in health, music, social services, visual arts, publishing and events like festivals and residencies. Within these areas I have acquired funds for renovations, capacity building projects, youth employment, arts programming, educational series, mentorship, marketing, operations and new initiatives. As well as writing proposals, I research funding opportunities (government, foundation and corporate) and present grant writing workshops to organizations including provincial districts and professional arts organizations. I write concise and persuasive proposals that will express your organization's goals, visions and financial needs. With over 12 years experience as an Arts Administrator, Editor, Writer
