Writing is something I feel passionately about both on a professional and personal level. I hold experience in various disciplines, from grants to blogs to creative writing. Check out some examples of my work below.
BLOGS

Below I've included a sample of blog posts I authored and co-authored on topics ranging from a girls empowerment camp to experimental education research conducted in low-and-middle-income countries.
Grant Writing
Youth Leadership Certification_Grant Completion Report.pdfAs a Peace Corps volunteer in Guatemala, I secured several grants through USAID's Small Project Assistantship (SPA) to organize camps and certification programs. Here I've included the grant completion report narrative telling the story of our youth course and delving into the goals achieved, challenges faced, sustainability of the project, and lessons learned. My grant writing experience spans from full proposal development through USAID's SPA to a focus on organizational capacity statements for donors such as the VISA and LEGO Foundation, including 2 winning proposals for the LEGO Foundation.
