The Dotted Line Collaborative was formally launched in 2017 to meld my desire to serve others with my extensive career in corporate communications and investor relations. Starting the grants development practice was a mindful shift from my 20+ years of supporting corporate-based programs using my skills in professional writing, project management, marketing, event planning, and training to a place of sustaining nonprofit organizations, schools, and faith-based communities through grant research, proposal writing, communications, and program management. With each grant approval, I feel I am contributing to the greater good for others.
