About

I am a specialist in grant development and grant writing for local governments, schools, commercial and residential building owners, and others seeking to improve energy efficiency and incorporate renewable energy. I provide strategic consulting to effectively stage energy efficiency and renewable improvements vis-a-vis funding alternatives to support these efforts. I identify new program areas to match client priorities and recommend solutions ranging from programmatic, behavioral, and organizational changes to capital investments to optimize sustainability goals.I am skillful at finding and securing funding to finance sustainability solutions.

I develop and maintain relationships with public and private funders to effectively and creatively identify all applicable grant and funding opportunities.
