Experienced grant and proposal writer, fundraiser, program evaluator, and social scientist researcher with startup experience. I help people find their stories (conducting primary research if needed) and tell their stories in a way that audiences will listen. I have a Master's degree in applied social psychology (Industrial/Organizational) with PhD-level training in research methods and data analysis. I also have three years of experience as a program evaluator for K-12 schools, conducting interviews and focus group and analyzing results. I am trained as a social science researcher with an emphasis in organizational development. I also did internal and external market research and wrote proposals as a business development professional for a large health and science academic medical center. I served as an Associate Director of Development for a large health and science academic medical center, helping raise $11 million in 2013-2014, $2.5 million in 2014-2015, and $3 million in 2015-2016. I managed a portfolio of over 60 individual, corporate, and private foundation prospects. I cultivated and furthered strategic relationships with companies such as Intel and the Murdock Charitable Trust.
