I am a driven, motivated, expert proposal writer, graphic designer, and project manager. In 2013 alone, I single-handedly wrote, storyboarded, designed, and laid out 27 proposals generating over $55m in revenue.
My speciality is teaming with subject matter experts to distill complex data into a compelling and polished narrative. I work alongside designers and create professionally written and beautifully designed proposals that highlight technical strengths and the novelty of your design. Teaming with project managers, I develop management plans and schedules for proposals, ensuring all solutions are compliant with OSHA and other applicable regulations, and compliant with your internal guidance. As an added value, I am a CPA candidate with over 4 years of cost accounting experience. Leveraging these skills, I assist estimators in create feasible project cost projections and bid pricing.
Let my expertise allow your projects to shine and allow your firm to win your next design competition!
