• Copywriter

  • Mar 2021 - Present

  I write grant proposals, newsletter articles and more to raise funds for the construction of a sustainable educational center for an urban farm network. I recently wrote and edited a 27-page document detailing the need for and purpose of the center, which is currently being used to inform potential donors. So far my work has been used to secure $15K in donations. The finished center will include a recycled steel communal kitchen for cooking & nutrition classes, a rammed earth classroom, a solar-paneled shade structure & an amphitheater for community events. It will impact the lives of thousands in the Inland Empire for generations to come. Show less
