Hello!

I’m Tess, an avid reader, knitter, hiker, gardener, and self ​proclaimed crazy cat lady. I am a freelance grant writer ​based in Portland, Oregon with my husband and our two ​cats.

I specialize in compelling grant writing using storytelling to ​help your organization form deep connections with the right a​udience who will engage with and invest in your mission.
