With over 15 years in higher education, I am a Grants and Contracts Analyst at The Johns Hopkins University, where I manage the financial and administrative elements of a broad range of grants and contracts. My previous experience at Florida State College at Jacksonville provided me with extensive grant planning expertise and roles such as Project Coordinator and Interim Director for various grant programs. I specialize in grant coordination, event planning, budgeting, reporting, and compliance. My dedication lies in enhancing educational opportunities and fostering initiatives that support the growth and development of students and faculty. I thrive in collaborative environments, am passionate about continuous learning, and consistently seek to expand my skills and stay updated with the latest best practices in my field.
