A field-tested humanitarian and development aid professional, I am a strategic communications and programming consultant with expertise in communications, grant acquisition, and program design, monitoring, and evaluation.

I have experience in both technical writing (grants, program summaries, professional reports) as well as content and advocacy-oriented writing, including social media and basic graphic design. Technical writing results include leading teams to over USD 10 million in grant acquisition (institutional and private) in the last five years. Content writing experience includes website copy, social media content (Twitter, Facebook), blogs, press releases, newsletters, and ghostwritten op-eds for a major international non-profit. With experience working in international environments, I can use British or American English, as desired.

Please contact me for detailed information on grant proposals/reports and ghostwritten articles. Grant acquisition is detailed in the Grants Profile below and online articles written have included the topics of gender equality, child rights, humanitarian relief, WASH, DRR, and child health. Grant funding has been acquired from EuropeAid, ECHO, UN Women, UNICEF, UNOCHA, USAID contractors, International Labour Organization, Governments of Jersey and Guernsey, and others.
