In addition to the grant writing experience, I also have grant management experience, which includes writing grant reports and following up with grantors. I was the president of a nonprofit county youth swim team and the co-founder of a nonprofit that helps families in need at Christmas. I also serve on two nonprofit boards, one for a new homeless program and a new domestic violence agency. My role on these boards is to provide organization and topical advice. I have conducted research, needs assessments, and writing grants for organizations such as Nurse-Family Partnership, early childhood education, mental health facilities, homelessness, a region-wide alliance on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault, a County Department of Social Services, and a task force on domestic violence. My areas of expertise in sociology are gender, domestic violence, child maltreatment, family interactions, sexuality, and how people see themselves and others. My courses included but were not limited to these topics and criminology, sociology of childhood, social organizations and institutions, and law.
