Nova serves as Grants Manager for St. Peter's Health Foundation and has been part of the St. Peter's Health family for five years. In her role, she partners with hospital leaders to find grant funding opportunities to support priorities and initiatives that support and advance the mission of St. Peter's Health. She works closely with hospital teams and community partners to develop grant applications that include implementation and sustainability plans that align and advance the missions of grant funders, from private foundations to large federal funders. Nova cultivates and stewards strong relationships with grant funders, ensuring we are the best stewards of every penny awarded to us. In her role, she also monitors post-grant award compliance, with special expertise in government grant funding and audit compliance. She also develops internal control procedures related to grant writing and management and acts as lead internal resource on all grant related matters.

 

Nova has over 14 years of healthcare grant writing and grants management experience and has obtained extensive government grant compliance training and experience in managing large federal contracts for various health systems across Montana and Colorado. She is passionate about using her skills and experience to discover and fund creative ways to improve quality and access to compassionate and whole-person healthcare for the often most vulnerable in our region.

 

Outside of work, Nova can be found outside at all times—regardless of rain, snow, or sunshine-- with her husband, young son, and corgi exploring the rivers, mountains, prairies, and lakes of Montana. She loves all things nature, and especially loves mountain biking, camping, hiking, dirt biking, boating, snowboarding, hunting, gardening, farmers markets, and cooking healthy, savory meals for her family. Drinking a cup of coffee with a beautiful view of mountains and a creek while camping with her boys is her ultimate happy place.
