PORTFOLIO
I write and edit research and journalism pieces; grant and funding request narratives and applications; project proposals; organizational marketing collateral; internal communications pieces and internal standard operating procedures.
I love researching and writing about the built environment, poverty, and social solutions, but am always looking for the next challenging topic to research and write about.
