Lynn first entered the nonprofit sector in 2012 by way of serving as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Vanuatu, where she worked for two years as an English Literacy Trainer and Teacher.

Upon returning to the U.S., Lynn spent several years as a teacher while simultaneously going back to school for an MBA in Nonprofit Leadership and volunteering at local nonprofits in her free time. In 2017, Lynn stepped into a lead grant writer position that eventually led to her role as Senior Manager of Development & Communications at the United Nations Association of Greater Boston where she spent the next 4 years. In 2020, Lynn founded LMA Grant Consulting LLC and has enjoyed working with clients ever since! Lynn holds an MBA in Nonprofit Leadership from New England College and a BA in Elementary Education and Liberal Studies with a focus in Psychology from Westfield State University. In her free time, Lynn enjoys traveling with her fiancé and has two fur babies that occasionally join her Zoom calls! Mariama Dumbuya, Executive Assistant & Freelance Writer
