A Little About Me

My life's path has been shaped by a commitment to service and a deep love for the communities I've called home.

I have been writing grant proposals and managing awarded grants for over 12 years:

Wrote and managed a federal grant for a church to improve their safety and security.
Wrote and managed grants for a church to assess and reframe their worship through an antiracist lens; to provide activities for senior adult members to counter loneliness; and to host a summer youth camp combining art and justice efforts.
Coordinated elements of the Sober Truth on Preventing Underage Drinking (STOP) Act Grant. Supported the grant’s budget of $200,000 and ensured it was reconciled on a monthly and annual basis.
Wrote grants that won accolades from the American Library Association, Virginia Commission for the Arts, Young Adult Library Services Association, and more.

Some of the responsibilities I have in my current role as Director of Administration:

Run payroll, compose reports, and reconcile in our accounting software. I successfully transitioned our company to a new payroll provider in 2025.
Ensure all contractors and vendors submit the appropriate tax paperwork, track their payments, and coordinate their year-end tax filing paperwork.
Perform bookkeeping duties, including A/R, A/P, reconciling, and working closely with the organization's Treasurer.
Manage the rental of the building and grounds, including multiple community groups, music studios, religious activities, and more. This includes coordinating the calendar and rental spaces, collecting payments, and maintaining positive relationships with those groups. In 2026 I transitioned us to an cloud-based room booking system.
Increased revenue from building rental fees over 400% from 2022-2025.
Found opportunities to save the company 3% of its annual operating costs.
