People

I am a Pre K teacher and Assistant Director of Monarch Learning Academy in Orlando, Florida which has a strong core in the belief of infusing nature into whole child development. My passion is educating and connecting children, families and teachers to nature based learning.

Having a passion for conservation, education, and entrepreneurial leadership, I consider my superpower to be championing great causes through relationship building and fundraising via grants. I thrive on the art of grant writing and the attention to detail the start to finish process demands from grant preparedness, grant writing, and budget prep. I especially enjoy working with non-profit leaders to synthesize their ideas and visions into written words and develop grant ready content to establish more sustainable internal operations and, in turn, secure more funding.
