When I say I like to tell stories, that means, of course that I like to write them too. I like to write my stories as evidenced by published essays, blogs, storytelling gigs, my solo show, etc. but I also like to write your story. I have done this in a few different ways. Maybe you’ll see what you’re looking for here. Maybe you won’t. If you don’t, please reach out and ask. I love to explore new opportunities.
Grant Writing:
I served as Executive Director of the Grand Rapids Children’s Museum for ten years. In that time I wrote dozens of proposals securing millions of dollars. I have experience with State, Federal and Foundation grants. With Fubble Entertainment, I’ve written grants to raise funds for Grand Rapids Community Theatre: The Documentary. I’ve written successful grants for other non-profits. I’ve served on the board and development committees of non-profits such as Grand Rapids Women’s Chorus, Rogue Theatre Company (Los Angeles), Women’s History Council, Michigan Museum Association, Actors’ Theatre.

I was once hired to write someone’s life story that they had to submit to their attorney for purposes of documenting the issues surrounding their divorce. Seriously, if you have (or need) to tell a story, let me help.
