As the leader of GEI\'s Grant Program, I support our clients preposition for funding opportunities, prepare grant applications, and administer awards. I specialize in integrating multiple sources of funding, often a combination of state, local, and foundation funds, to fund multi-phase infrastructure projects. I’ve worked with communities to leverage grant opportunities in the United States, in 11+ states, and Canada. I’ve successfully prepared grants for ecological restoration, coastal resilience, transportation, dam removal and rehabilitation, green infrastructure, port and marina infrastructure, and other project types.
