Proposal Specialist

Experienced. Compliant.
Proposal-ready—when the win matters.

I help government contractors win complex, high-value contracts by transforming technical expertise into clear, compliant, and compelling proposal content.

With over 22 years of experience in technical writing, proposal development, and desktop publishing, I have supported and led proposal efforts that resulted in multi-million- and billion-dollar contract wins for major defense and technology organizations. I specialize in distilling complex engineering and programmatic information into persuasive narratives that meet strict Federal solicitation requirements—on time and at the highest standard of quality.
