Report & Plan Writing
Reports & Plans That Leap Off the Page—And Won’t Sit on the Shelf
Whether it's a grant report, community plan, or policy brief, I specialize in writing that brings clarity, connection, and credibility to your work. I translate complex projects into compelling narratives that resonate with funders, decision-makers, and the public—grounded in lived experience, fieldwork, and collaborative voice.
From economic impact reports to annual reports, knowledge summaries to accomplishment roundups—my writing isn't meant to gather dust in a drawe. These are tools for recognition, alignment, and momentum. I can help you strategize what to document from the beginning, or work with what you've got to shape a story that educates, inspires, and equips your team and partners to move forward together.

California Food Policy Network Gathering Report
This flagship report captures the first statewide California Food Policy Council convening since the pandemic, held in Salinas—the “Salad Bowl of the World.” Over two immersive days, more than 75 food leaders, farmers, advocates, and policymakers came together for tours, panels, and working sessions to chart the future of California’s food system. It highlights: • Core themes of sustainable production, equity and access, public procurement, and future leadership • Breakout insights on food hubs, land access, Good Food Purchasing, and Food is Medicine initiatives • Ground-level innovations—from cooperative farms to hospital produce prescriptions—that link health, economy, and environment In addition to authoring the report, I helped facilitate the symposium and supported the state organization and local host committee with event production and execution—translating a landmark convening into a roadmap for action, investment, and collaboration across California’s food networks. |

Reconnect South Park –
Communications & Outreach Plan I created the communications and outreach plan for Reconnect South Park, a community-driven initiative to reimagine SR-99—the highway that divides the South Park neighborhood. My work provided a clear, actionable framework for engaging over 1,000 residents, grounded in equity, narrative justice, and community voice. The plan included communication values, outreach team goals, demographic research, digital and physical engagement strategies, and a timeline to guide implementation. I also designed the architecture for inclusive community meetings and contributed case studies from the 11th Street Bridge Park and Tremé to inspire local action. The plan laid the foundation for a participatory process rooted in memory, connection, and future possibility.

Let’s Talk About Placemaking
We supported the Canadian Urban Institute by co-authoring the Outcomes chapter of their national placemaking report, helping define the measurable impacts of place-based work across Canada. Grounded in the scholarship of Setha Low and Seth Kaplan, we helped shape a framework that connects placemaking to outcomes such as social cohesion, belonging, economic vitality, and democratic resilience.
Our contribution included identifying relevant indicators, incorporating a place typology lens, and providing U.S. and global best-practice case studies to complement the Canadian examples. This work helped translate values into actionable outcomes that communities, funders, and policymakers can use to guide future place-based investment. |
