As a coworker once told me, I wear many hats. I run a small family leathercrafting business on the gorgeous Oregon Coast doing everything from strategic direction to taking out the trash. And I kinda like it that way. On the side, I moonlight as a writer, editor, and project manager. Experience, in no particular order: Writing, editing, online marketing, small business administration, social media, nonprofit administration and fundraising, project development and project management, Etsy, Shopify, e-commerce, communications, state and federal renewable energy policy, wind energy project development and transmission, greenfield development, M&A analysis, event planning, land acquisition, grantwriting, technical and creative writing, federal, state, and local land use permitting, environmental issue management and compliance, crowdfunding, public relations, government relations, regulatory compliance, power marketing, organizational development.
