As a Mainer in love with her home state, I write and pitch stories & grant narratives about the people, places, businesses & farms, and nonprofits that make Maine the way life should be (and are loved by readers across the country). Words have power: they translate into sales, contracts, lasting customer relationships, and funding. I've helped clients secure millions in grant funding and earn media features that accelerate their business growth, allowing them to develop new products, hire new employees, and gain new customers.A true "Leslie Knope" (Parks & Rec) at heart, I enjoy binders, public service, waffles, and mentoring high school students through the Olympia Snowe Women's Leadership Institute.
