Grants Data Manager

he/him

Aaron is responsible for data management and federal grant reporting for the RWWC. Also, he helps coordinate the grant writing process for our Ryan White and HOPWA grants, and provide oversight of our 340B pharmacy program. Aaron has a Bachelors of Science in Criminology from the University of Glamorgan in the UK, and a Masters of Public Health from the University of South Carolina. Even though he works ‘behind the scenes’ at RWWC, Aaron most enjoys knowing that his work has a direct impact on the care and services that our clients receive. Aaron enjoys camping, anything outdoors and playing music. He grew up in Carlisle in northern England and first came to the US as a student. I was attracted to Charleston for its history and beauty and moved here over 20 years ago. Aaron grew up knowing England’s National Health Service (NHS), a system that guarantees access to healthcare to all people regardless of their ability to pay. He feels that the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) shares a similar ethos. All of our clients receive the same compassionate, high quality care, whether they’re wealthy or homeless. Aaron values equity, compassion, and kindness and has been with the RWWC 18 amazing years! The best advice he has ever been given: Think mindfully, speak kindly, and act meaningfully.
