Why you?

I help applicants compete. Whether for jobs, grants, funds, media, or admission to academic & professional programs -- I know what makes a candidate, pitch, or proposal stand out. Let’s work together.

I help individuals and organizations compete — for jobs, grants, funds, awards, media, and academic programs.

About

My practice is informed by years of experience with successful candidates, pitches, and proposals.

From my years teaching at Harvard, MIT, and Connecticut College. From years as a senior recruiter on the employer’s side of the desk at D.E. Shaw & Co., a multinational investment firm with US $50 billion under management where I led executive searches for the CEO and recruited associates from top-tier schools. And finally, from my work as a Director of Communications 
for the New York State Working Families Party and for National Advocates for Pregnant Women. At NAPW, where I served as Director of both Comms and Development, my grant proposals doubled their institutional funders in under a year.
