She is such a pleasant person with a team player mindset. She is going to do some amazing things for the City. Welcome Andrea!”
Andrea has over 20 years of experience in grant-writing and non-profit management, with a focus on domestic violence and mental health issues.

I’ve been looking for an opportunity to be a grant writer for a smaller community in Wyoming, and Rawlins is an amazing fit.”
