I started Papini Innovations LLC in 2006. I am pleased to offer a variety of consulting services that leverage my experience and skills in a variety of areas. I have been hired to develop curriculum, design training materials, facilitate trainings, and to support grant writing, evaluation, and reporting.

I have had an exciting career in education and in the non-profit sector in Hawaiʻi since 2000. In 2013, I founded Learning Endeavors, a 501c3 non profit organization that has operated primarily on grants. I have been the sole grant writer, evaluator, and manager for the organization in my role as Executive Director.

I live in Wailuku, Hawaiʻi, and have been a resident of Maui since 2000. I would be happy to discuss how I might be able to support you as a consultant.
