Grant Writer, Creative Writer, Translator

After starting and running my own NGO, I did a MA in Creative Writing at Birkbeck, University of London, and proceeded to work at a UK university helping academics write research grant proposals and manage submissions. During this time I supported over 150 proposals in the fields of art, humanities and engineering and brought in an income of over 1.5M. The biggest grant secured was of £460.000. I have written and managed submission to funders from various countries and political organizations (UK, Romania, EU), I have a very good understanding of what funders are looking for and what a persuasive proposal looks like. Drawing from my experience as a project manager, in addition to grant writing, I can also help shape the project in terms of work packages, activities, roles, timeline and milestones. I also have experience as a translator (French-English, English-Romanian, Romanian-English), as a blog writer and creative writer.

Dr Suzanne Scafe from London South Bank University wanted to apply for an Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) grant.

I was in charge of managing the submission, working side by side with the academic to create an appropriate consortium of international partners (both from the academic sector and the third sector), to design the project activities and timeline, I put together the costs and gave feedback and edited several drafts of the proposal until it was convincing enough to be submitted. The application was successful and the project was awarded £34.500.

Dr Antonia Noussia from London South Bank University wanted to apply for a Newton Grant managed by the British Academy on the topic of urban agriculture, landscape justice and migrants inclusion.

I managed the submission, liaised with the Brazilian partner to ensure all the documents were in order, helped the academic tailor the proposal to fit the funder's requirements, did the costs and gave feedback and edited several drafts of the proposal in order to make sure it had the best chance to succeed. The application was indeed successful and the project was awarded £10.000.

Dr Geoff Goss from London South Bank University wanted to carry out a research project on the mechanics of animal whiskers, in collaboration with Dr Robyn Grant from Manchester Metropolitan University and Prof Gert van der Heijdn from University College London.

I advised him to apply to EPSRC and managed the submission. After a year of working with Dr Goss on designing the project plan, putting together the costs and writing the perfect proposal (trying to strike a balance between the mechanics and the biology aspects of it), Dr Goss, a first time applicant, beat the odds and was awarded £460.000 grant.
