Welcome to Meridian Verso

I’m Rick Saldaña, the divisional grants and contracts analyst for Texas Divisional Headquarters of the largest non-government provider of social services. This virtual portfolio showcases a diversity of Grant, Academic, Visual, and Other Writing to mirror my diverse professional, academic, and creative experience.

Additionally, I am a published writer of fiction, poetry, book reviews, and scholarship, as well as a Grant Professionals Association member, Autonomous Brown Beret de San Anto TejAztlan, McNair alumnus, a President’s Volunteer Service Award recipient, and devout godfather to one special little boy.

My writing has appeared in scholarly journals, literary magazines, and academic symposiums nationwide and has secured over $700K in government funding. All of this and more is available here at Meridian Verso.

On September 13th, 2024, Meridian Verso turned one year old! Thank you, please enjoy the rest of your stay.
