Grant Strategy and Administration
I have sat on both sides of the funding table. In 2021 and 2022 I screened Rebuild VA applications for the Commonwealth, checking eligibility, accuracy, and fraud indicators. Before that, I administered municipal awards from $100,000 to $1,000,000. I write proposals with a reviewer's eye and build compliance systems with the memory of a small staff trying to keep up with a federal award.
