About Me

I'm originally from a small town 100kms west of Ottawa. I have degrees in Political Science as well as Law. I've taken courses to reach level 3 of the former CGA program. I've held a LEED GA designation and currently hold a Project Management Professional designation (PMP) from the Project Management Institute (PMI), as well as a Certified Foundation level designation (CF-APMP) from the Association of Proposal Management Professionals (APMP). My natural writing ability, combined with this robust education and experience, led me to a career in business development and proposal writing!

As a top-tier full-cycle Secret-cleared Senior Proposal Writer / Manager, C-Suite Proposal Advisor, Business Development Manager, Compliance Specialist, Professional Writer (Technical, Grants, Business Cases, Ghost Writer), Editor, Procurement/RFP Writer, and Program Evaluator, I excel in project management. I find opportunities through my proprietary database of 350+ procurement sites, read the RFP & amendments, create the proposal skeleton, engage the SMEs, author multiple sections, compile certifications & signatures, conduct quality control, print, bind, deliver, and follow up. I specialize in TSPS, THS, TBIPS, SBIPS, ProServices, PASS, etc.

My proposal writing covers a wide array of topics, including SAP, project management, human resources, engineering, construction, design-build, environment, sustainability, change management, business transformation, cost estimating, survey, Indigenous affairs, IT, Telecommunications / Cellular, Cloud, IaaS, Data Centres, Public Private Partnerships (P3 / PPP), risk management, real property / real estate, GIS, planning, translation, communications, training, audit, military armament, and more.

I have successfully spearheaded up to 37 proposals simultaneously, demonstrating my innate ability to manage stress in a business development role. This demanding environment involves a series of concurrent deadlines, requiring a meticulous and tenacious nature to read hundreds of pages of highly technical documents and distill them into a compliant, winning response.

I have been responsible for over 2,500 public sector proposals, securing more than $500 million in consulting revenue and over $17.5 BILLION in past/current/upcoming construction costs! This includes half a billion dollars that directly benefits Indigenous business, communities, and people.

I am fully versed in the management of Public Sector contracts, Standing Offers, and Supply Arrangements. Additionally, my financial background enables me to prepare competitive pricing options for proposals, as price is often the deciding factor! Lastly, I've never missed a deadline!

I have been published dozens of times in newspapers and Reader’s Digest. I hope to E-publish my first novel soon while writing five others. My topics range from horror to horror-sci-fi, comedy sci-fi, drama, children/tween fantasy, and semi-autobiography.
