Rural Development Strategist | Senior Researcher, Practitioner & Writer

Rural Grants and Development

I'm currently wrapping up a pilot program with the State of North Carolina to develop and direct the Rural Grants Program, an initiative that provides no-cost grant and capital stacking support to rural communities. It's one way we can eliminate the gaps between rural and urban communities and leverage federal dollars to help where it's most needed.

What matters most

I work across public and private sectors to get creative about solving wicked problems. I believe in creating good teams and getting out of their way; in the innovative processes that public + private partners can create; and in getting the work done, and done well.
