Bio
Tanilee Eichelberger, MPA
I've been impressed with Deanna's ability to effectively navigate a variety of complex requirements across regions financials for the $7.8m federal grant (Innovative Approaches to Literacy) as well as monitoring compliance of Tulsa's state grant. Her project scoping and collaboration skills across multiple departments and stakeholders allowed her to effectively develop and submit a proposal with minimal lead time and enabling our organization to fund and positively impact literacy rates for children across the United States. I highly recommend Deanna in this capacity and am grateful for her leadership at Reading Partners during this process.

Deanna's ability to translate nuanced student literacy data into formal grant applications and reports have made her an invaluable colleague as our organization shifted to new performance metrics. Each time I've worked with Deanna I've found her to be creative and detail-oriented, resourceful, considerate, and utterly reliable. She has identified and pursued ambitious funding opportunities that required compiling a lot of disparate information - she'll take on the lion's share of that work, and when she must obtain discrete information from project leaders her requests are succinct, easy to follow, and never redundant. I have the highest regard for Deanna and her work.
