About

Professional summary

I am an evidence-led grant writer and independent consultant specialising in funding research, eligibility screening, proposal development, and deadline coordination.

I translate programme, financial, technical, and impact information into clear, persuasive narratives tailored to funder requirements. My work includes letters of inquiry, concept notes, grant applications, reports, budget narratives, and outcome narratives.

I have prepared and submitted a US$150,000 USAID Development Innovation Ventures Stage 1 proposal, including a theory of change, cost-effectiveness analysis, and measurement plan.

As Founder and CEO of Agri-Power Hub Ltd, I lead funding research, proposal writing, application coordination, and evidence review for a clean-energy and agriculture venture. I also co-wrote a national First Place entrepreneurship application for a seven-person team.

I am a First Class Entrepreneurship graduate with strong skills in plain-language editing, compliance review, remote collaboration, and coordinating technical, financial, and impact inputs into consistent funding materials.

I am interested in remote grant writing opportunities where I can help mission-driven organisations identify suitable funding opportunities and develop high-quality proposals.
