About

Lisa Danhi
writer, editor, educator

Greetings,

Thank you for taking time to become acquainted with my professional background and to consider how I may contribute to the success of your projects.

I distinctly remember sitting in my fourth grade classroom working on a poetry assignment, revising and polishing, wondering if this was what it felt like to be a writer. Switching a word here, changing line break there, illustrating the scene I described along the bottom margin. Yes, I thought, I want to be a writer and teacher! I didn’t give the idea much consideration at the time, but my natural attraction to all things language and education lead me from one opportunity to another, building the stanzas and rhyme scheme of my life, one course and project at a time.

My life has not been a straight trajectory; thus, my experience reflects a variety of landscapes I have traveled: business/entrepreneurship; public education; culinary services; software development; social services; and more:

  • Content writing & editing
    • SEO-informed web content to get started or redesign/refresh
    • Editing articles for publication in magazines and trade journals
    • Development of business operating procedures and help guides
  • Grant writing
    • Coordinate data collection from board and volunteers
    • Compile and submit applications for school and private 501(c)(3) nonprofits
    • Manage grant seeking process from initial LOI to closing reports/deliverables
  • Education
    • Teaching and tutoring in kinder through college language arts
    • Curriculum development for reading, writing, grammar, conversation
    • Development and delivery of college tutor training courses
    • Masters in Education in Teaching & Learning: Language, Literacy & Composition

Currently, I seek projects and opportunities in business and technical writing; nonprofit grant writing and editorial support; SEO and website content development; composition and creative writing instruction. In all cases, I take initiative to move clients from the blank page through to completion, creating workflows that fit the writing objectives and get the work done.

You can review my résumé /CV here or find me on LinkedIn. Of course, meeting, Zooming, or talking would be best.

Respectfully submitted,
Lisa Danhi
