about The OWNER

Hello, I’m Joelina Peck, founder of J|RA Consulting, LLC, established in 2024 and based in Gilbert, AZ. With over 19 years of experience as a Professional Research Administrator, I have honed my ability to solve complex challenges, foster collaboration, and provide tailored solutions that help both businesses and individuals thrive.

Throughout my career in higher education, I’ve led teams responsible for managing hundreds of grant submissions annually and overseeing multimillion-dollar research portfolios. This experience has provided me with deep expertise in pre- and post-award research administration, compliance, and performance management—skills I leverage to support my clients at J|RA Consulting, LLC.

In addition to my hands-on experience, I earned my Certification in Research Administration (CRA) from the Research Administrators Certification Council (RACC) in 2009. I also hold a Bachelor of Arts in Organizational Leadership from Arizona State University, where I graduated summa cum laude in December 2022. As an active member of the National Council of University Research Administrators (NCURA), I contribute to the field through presentations and sharing insights on research administration best practices.

At J|RA Consulting, LLC, I combine my specialized knowledge with a client-centered approach, offering strategic guidance and creative problem-solving to help clients reach their unique goals. Whether you’re navigating funding landscapes, understanding federal requirements, or finding new funding opportunities, I’m passionate about empowering others to succeed.

Beyond my professional work, I’m deeply committed to supporting small businesses as they navigate the complexities of grant submissions and federal compliance. I take pride in making the grant process more accessible and helping organizations grow and innovate. Additionally, I’m dedicated to advancing scientific knowledge and improving society through collaborative efforts.

If you’re ready to take the next step toward your goals, I’d love to connect and help bring your vision to life through J|RA Consulting, LLC.
