As Institutional Giving & Grants Officer at the Amazon Conservation Team (ACT), I manage the full grant lifecycle, from researching opportunities and crafting proposals to reporting and compliance. Collaborating with teams across Brazil, Colombia, and the Guianas, I secure funding to support community-led conservation and cultural preservation efforts. By building strong donor relationships and aligning global resources with local initiatives, I help advance ACT’s mission to protect the Amazon rainforest and empower indigenous communities.

Collaborate with nonprofits and small businesses to write grant proposals and applications, create pitch decks, and advise on storytelling strategies, helping secure resources and align with funder priorities.
