A little bit about me...

I began my career in the corporate sector, gaining experience in hospitality, the holiday industry, and telecommunications. My introduction to the voluntary sector came through a friend who was a trustee of a charity, and it quickly became clear that this was where I truly belonged. Since then, I have thrived in the non-profit world, dedicating my career to making a meaningful difference.

With a degree in Business Studies and IT, I bring a diverse skill set to senior fundraising and leadership roles. Over the years, I have contributed to the success of organisations such as Variety, the Children's Charity, NSPCC, North West Air Ambulance, and most recently, SSAFA, the Armed Forces Charity, where I continue to be involved as a volunteer.

My experience spans income generation, change management, project mapping, and building strong, lasting relationships with supporters and stakeholders. I have managed multimillion-pound budgets, delivered reports at board level, and played a key role in driving strategic growth. I am passionate about creating sustainable fundraising strategies and ensuring long-term impact for the causes I support.
