About
“Scríobh” is Irish (Gaelic) for “to write.” As a native of Ireland, I wanted to choose a name for my business that reflects my native tongue, as it showcases the unique perspective it brings to my work.
With over a decade of professional writing, editing, research, and project management experience, I now focus on helping nonprofits and mission-driven organizations turn their visions into fundable, measurable impact. As the founder of Scríobh ATX, I specialize in grant prospecting, proposal development, and post-award support, alongside broader nonprofit and sustainability development services. Recent collaborations include supporting Heartening, an Austin based community-driven clothing reuse initiative, to secure its first grant award of 2025, and creating a comprehensive funding database for Material Union, a new sustainability-focused organization.
My career began in Europe, where I worked at the European Central Bank in Frankfurt and later as a Project Associate at ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability in Freiburg, Germany working on EU-funded sustainable procurement projects. Since moving to Austin, I’ve blended this international perspective with local engagement, partnering with the City of Austin, the Sustainable Food Center, schools, and neighborhood associations to advance sustainability, equity, and community resilience.
I hold an M.A. in European Linguistics and a B.A. in Languages & Cultural Studies, as well as certificates in Grant Writing, Nonprofit Management, Public Procurement, and Sustainable Food & Farming. I am fluent in German, Spanish, and French.
Beyond consulting, I remain deeply involved in Austin’s civic and sustainability landscape, from advocating for neighborhood schools to volunteering in local food and waste-reduction initiatives as a member of the Post-Consumption & Waste Issue Area Group as part of the first ever City of Austin/Travis County Food Planning Process.
