Under Construction - Now Accepting New Clients
Yes, I really did turn a one-time favor into a business.
I’m a strategic and detail-oriented consultant with a background in retail operations and sales leadership—and the founder of a thriving consulting and grant writing business that started almost by accident. In September 2023, a friend asked for my help writing a grant, saying I was "organized and a quick learner." That one project sparked something bigger than I expected.
What began as a one-time favour quickly evolved into a full-blown, year-round business. Since then, I've helped numerous organizations navigate the complexities of funding, strategy, and project planning with clarity, efficiency, and results. My knack for translating complex ideas into compelling narratives and executable plans has helped clients secure funding and scale their impact.
Whether you need support writing a winning grant, building a strategic roadmap, or just figuring out where to start, I bring a mix of structure, creativity, and relentless follow-through. I'm here to help you move from “big idea” to big results—with less stress along the way.
To empower organizations and changemakers by providing strategic, accessible, and high-impact consulting and grant writing services—transforming big ideas into funded, actionable solutions. I aim to demystify the grant process, bring structure to strategy, and help my clients grow with confidence and clarity.
With over a decade of leadership experience across retail operations, government partnerships, and key account management in leading industries, I bring a strategic and results-driven approach to every project. I’ve managed national portfolios with multi-million dollar revenues, led large-scale operational transformations, and directed high-performing teams through complex, cross-functional initiatives. I now support nonprofits, small businesses, and community organizations with funding strategy, grant writing, and operational consulting, maintaining a success rate well above industry averages.
After studying Business Administration and Management at McMaster University, I pursued my Wine and Spirits Education Trust (Level 3 Certification). Over the years, I’ve been recognized for leadership and impact—receiving multiple leadership awards and being named a finalist for a national excellence award. I’ve also been selected for a women’s leadership development program and contributed to diversity, inclusion, and belonging initiatives within leading industries. Additionally, I co-developed education programs designed to enhance product knowledge and both customer loyalty and engagement.
