I’m Tina, here’s a little more about me

I wrote my first grant in 2006 when I worked at the University of New Mexico, but it was not until I moved to the San Francisco Bay Area in 2007 that I got schooled in everything grants. Before having my son, I worked for two very fast-paced Federally Qualified Health Centers. I was part of a team responsible for generating millions in revenue to support health center operations. When I started, I immediately found the work challenging and rewarding. I will never forget how I felt when I got my first grant award. It was a $7,000 award to purchase furniture for one of the clinics. And that was just the beginning!

After having my son in 2010, I started doing consulting work. Since then, I have had the opportunity to raise money through grants for family homeless shelters, churches, foundations, parks, and park districts. And more recently for small businesses.
