In 2008, I took a leap of faith to pursue my goal of becoming a public relations consultant specializing in non-profits and government. Since then, I have contracted work for Family Service of Central Indiana and the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority. In early 2011, I took on the role of Executive Director of the Indiana FFA Leadership Center and primarily focused on that role. However, I have continued to work in consulting for state government and not-for-profits, including the Indiana FFA Foundation and Indiana Manufacturers Association. My focus has primarily been grant writing.
