Expert grant and proposal writer

With over six years' experience as a professional writer, I have what it takes to turn your ideas into great writing.

I hold specialist qualifications in science communication, government and project management, as well as Bachelor's degrees from one of Australia's best universities. I began my writing career while still at university, creating marketing materials showcasing the work of top PhD students and popular science articles published in print magazines and online.

My experience in government includes both Federal and State government departments in permanent and contract positions. I have contributed to Cabinet submissions for the Department of Communications, created evaluation strategies for the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, prepared high-level presentations for the Victorian Department of Education and Training, and written briefs for the Victorian Department of Economic Development and Resources. I have held multiple positions with not-for-profit organisations, including a board position, both in Australia and internationally.

What this means is that I understand what's needed to get a message across. I understand the differences between a document going to a high-level executive and one for social media. I know how to incorporate the right level of detail, how to persuade a reader, and how to make sure an idea is practical rather than just 'pretty'.

My work gets results. Just ask Sandra, who used my services to secure a $35,000 grant for her not-for-profit organisation. Or Caroline, who landed her dream job after I polished up her job application. Or chat to Gary, who noticed increased productivity in his team after I redesigned their project tracking systems. I know what it takes to create effective written communication. I tailor every document to its specific purpose, making sure it tells the right story for the right audience.

Let's talk about how can I bring this experience to work for you.
