About

[Won Over 50% Of Grants & Proposals written in 2024] | [Secured Over $300M+ in Funding]

[Secured Over $300M USD]
I am a project manager certified with over 10k hours of experience in the most cutthroat of industries: tech, construction, staffing, and manufacturing. I've written proposals for many US federal agencies with a high degree of success. A little context on my background- as a teenager I worked for my father's company, who became so successful that he received high honors by many for his construction work including a decorated governor. I was next to him when he got the award! Dad even wanted me to take over his company, but I wanted to start my own. He is retired now, building houses for our family like the late Jimmy Carter, bless his soul. Continuing his legacy for decades to come, my career is only getting started.

I represent companies, of veteran and aspiring CEOs alike. One day I will be able to say "I got these guys on Venus!! Look at that floating megacity!! I won the contract servicing those buoyancy modules!!" THAT is my lifetime mission. Before the end of the decade, my company will have secured over $1,000,000,000 in awards for people like YOU. I am your consultant. I am your equal. I will never be your employee. (You're welcome to make an offer though! But if you REALLY need an on-site proposal manager, let me know. I have qualified people on standby just for you!)
I am Melina Cardenas and this is my life's work. I'm probably live streaming my desk while I work right now, as you read this. Corps of Engineers. NASA. Forest Service. CISA. DIA. And MUCH MUCH MORE. Each agency has their own language- more on that later!

C o n t a c t me. I swear on everything sacred to me you won't regret it.

Our proposals will always win at a MUCH higher rate than other companies — each of our sentences are pen-and-paper filled with my soul energy, instead of templated and automated slop from lazy competitors who can't write their way out of a wet paper bag.

Work Terms

TBD per contract.
