Research Grants

• At current position, I assisted with progress reports for two USDA Organic Agriculture Research and Extension Initiative grants. Also submitted a successful project proposal to the North Central IPM Center.
• While a graduate student, successfully applied for and completed reporting requirements for a research grant with the Ohio Landscaping and Nursery Association for a three-year study on nursery water sources, water quality, and water management practices.

Reporting and Application for Ohio Arts Council Sustainability Grant

• At Ashland University, I collected data and submitted budgets, plans, narratives, and other reporting for a three-year sustainability grant from the Ohio Arts Council. Grant money is used to secure premier literary guests (such as Terry Tempest Williams, Steve Almond, and Patricia Smith) and to open readings and writing lectures to the general public in cooperation with the MFA in creative writing programming.

Various Environmental Sustainability Grants

• While at Clinch-Powell Resource Conservation and Development Council, worked with reporting, applying for, and carrying out several grant projects from various sources and in collaboration with multiple agencies, including local governments and schools, Extension service, The Nature Conservancy, US Geological Survey, and the US Department of Agriculture.
