I'm the founder and CEO of GrantWin™️ Consulting (formerly Grants Works) and the lead trainer for GrantWin Academy. I have over 18 years of federal grants experience.

Before starting the firm, I obtained and managed multimillion dollar federal and other government grants for nonprofits and managed grants as a research program manager at a top research university. I'm also a former CDC employee who worked with grantees.

I'm one of approximately 313 Certified Grants Management Specialists (CGMS) in the US, a member of the Thompson Grants Expert Panel, and the creator of a 4.7 out of 5 star rated federal grant management training series for a federal agency.
