For more than 13 years, I've provided grant and technical writing services to startups and nonprofits to support R&D, commercialization, and economic development initiatives - helping them earn over $12 million in non-dilutive funding. I truly love working with technical experts and project teams to help them clearly articulate their vision. Working with start-up companies seeking R&D funding is especially enjoyable and gratifying for me. Services include establishing checklists and templates, setting a schedule and organizing the proposal team, generating content, editing provided content, creating graphic elements, developing project schedules and budgets, formatting the final submittal, and submitting applications through online portals. My services draw on my technical education and experience, as well as over 20 years' experience in environmental consulting project management. I am client-focused and will provide the highest standards to your projects and deliverables.
