Tia Ayoroa

Tia’s path to marketing and proposal strategy has always been rooted in her love of writing, storytelling, and advocacy. With a B.A. in English and an M.S. in Environmental Management, she brings a unique cross-sector perspective to her work—combining creativity, clarity, and strategic focus to support mission-driven organizations.

She has led successful proposals for higher education institutions and federal clients, developing compelling, compliant responses under tight deadlines and across collaborative teams. Her background spans proposal development, grants management, and strategic operations, including her time with an environmental nonprofit focused on sustainability and community resilience. After serving in a staff operational role, she transitioned to the organization’s Board of Directors, where she continues to support its mission through strategic guidance and advocacy. Tia brings a deep understanding of how to translate technical expertise into messaging that connects with both evaluators and end users.

She was drawn to LSY’s purpose-driven mission and is excited to support the firm’s continued growth through thoughtful storytelling and relationship-focused business development.

Outside of work, Tia is an avid gardener who can often be found knee-deep in compost or enthusiastically talking about native plants to anyone who’ll listen
