Project Coordinator

I have going on 10 years of experience generating funding for nonprofits across Northeast Ohio and across disciplines.
My proudest professional achievement came in 2016 when I obtained my Executive Certificate in Transformational Nonprofit Leadership from the Mendoza College of Business, University of Notre Dame in South Bend Indiana, an intensive program which taught all aspects of nonprofit management, from administration to donor cultivation to grant writing.
Additionally, I have an Executive Certificate in Nonprofit Fundraising Strategies from Mendoza; A Digital Marketing Certificate in Crafting Contagious Content from The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania; and am completing coursework in Brand Management through the Cornell University Brand Management Certification Program.
I have always been a planner and a networker, which has served me well in creating connections and “outside the box” opportunities that bring organizations visibility and support.
Post degree, my proudest professional achievement, has been my grant writing success rate. I have written successful grant proposals and received funding from the following:
City of Cleveland Neighborhood Safety Fund
Community Foundation of Lorain County
The Char and Chuck Fowler Foundation
Personally, I am enthusiastic about the arts, worthy causes, books, cats, history, cooking and anything I can do to make the world a less bleak place.
