Inspired by fireweed - nature’s purposeful solution to fire or flood - I founded Bloom Grant Consulting to help nonprofits harness their grant potential. What started as a solo venture has grown into a small team of passionate people. I have several years of nonprofit experience in roles such as executive leadership, fundraising, programs, and boards of directors. Paired with my lifelong love of writing, these community-centered experiences ignited my passion for wealth redistribution and led me to become a grant writer. Ultimately, my in-house insight and outsider perspective enable me to tactfully navigate organizations of any size. As a consultant, I am collaborative, adaptive, and committed to meeting my clients where they are at any given moment. My foundation in social work enables me to skillfully research and translate your mission into asset-based narratives. My clients can rely on a listening ear who can empathize with their problems, and brainstorm solutions. My coaching style also helps clients confidently balance both tactical and relational strategies that are essential to fundraising.I hold a Bachelor of Social Work from Ball State University and I am an active member of the Puget Sound Grantwriters’ Association and the Grant Professionals Association. I have a passion for traveling and nature. You can often find me on a long hike or backpacking trip, identifying birds, water-coloring trailside, or plotting my next adventure with my partner, Alex.
