As a grant writer with Pier Partners, LLC, Megan is responsible for drafting and editing grant narratives, developing project budgets, designing logic models, gathering supporting documents, submitting final proposals, and completing all reporting requirements. Projects she has worked on have been awarded nearly $400,000 in the past year. Megan is reliable, detail-oriented, organized, and adept at managing multiple projects simultaneously. Before working as a grant writer, Megan had a rewarding career as a speech-language pathologist. Working in the public school system opened her eyes to the inequities in the U.S. school system and the challenges schools face in meeting the needs of all children. Her experience makes her uniquely qualified to understand the needs and goals of educational organizations and turn those into a compelling, data-driven grant narrative. Megan also holds a degree in Biomedical Engineering and is skilled at comprehending complex technical data. Her true strength, however, is translating that intricate information into clear, accessible language for laypersons. This intersection of technology and writing enables her to create proposals for innovative technology companies tailored to diverse audiences, including grant reviewers with and without a technical background. Finally, Megan’s strong math and reasoning skills are invaluable when developing logic models and project budgets, ensuring accuracy and coherence in her proposals.
