As ESP’s Grants and Development Coordinator, Athena brings over a decade of experience in nonprofit and municipal grant work. Since 2014, she has focused on building partnerships and securing funding that turn creative ideas into tangible impact. Athena is passionate about connecting people and resources to make meaningful, lasting change in our community.
ESP’s mission speaks to me because it’s all about creating belonging and celebrating everyone’s abilities. I’m happiest when supporting projects that connect people and spark growth. When I’m not working, I love being outdoors, especially long walks with our dog, cooking new recipes, watching movies and reading.
I’m always up for trying a new recipe and love turning everyday meals into little celebrations – good food, good company and plenty of laughter.
