How can I help your organization?

Hello, I'm Karin.

I'm an independent contractor who primarily works with nonprofit organizations. Understanding the often dynamic work of nonprofit organizations, I am responsive to their varying needs.

A few professional highlights:

I have managed a million-dollar federal grant for multiple years and can take you through the full life cycle of a grant.
I have experience liaising with government agencies including consulates, embassies, and governmental corporations.
My research contributed to the creation of a new bachelor degree of Global and International Studies at Carleton University.
I have facilitated a website transfer to new platform, wherein I updated structure and content simultaneously.
I launched the YES! Support network communications strategy, and continue to advise on nonprofit best practices.

I would love to use my skills to help accomplish your goals and grow your organization.

Meet Karin

Hello!

For the last ten years I have worked in higher education and the nonprofit worlds. I worked for Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada, before moving to Maryland. Most of my nonprofit experience is with an organization called Campus Compact Mid-Atlantic, where I have been able to contribute in a variety of different ways including managing a federal grant, planning workshops and events, managing an awards program, and serving on a JEDI (Justice, Equity, Diversity, Inclusion) Task Force.

I enjoy working collaboratively with a small team, and also independently, taking ownership of a project. Want to know more? Please reach out today.

Thank you,

Karin
