As a fundraiser, I have found it is an incredible privilege to help individuals to make philanthropic gifts that they are proud of, and which impactfully and sustainably change the lives of others for good.

As a trustee, I found that communicating well and working in partnership with our donors means that we are better able to enhance the quality and impact of services we are committed to providing.

As a grantmaker, I have found that the depth of knowledge, expertise, and insight of those at the coalface best sets the agenda for what impact a grant can truly achieve.

As a donor, I have found a deep sense of joy and fulfilment in learning to be generous with what I have been given so that others may have every opportunity to live a full and rewarding life too.

As a Partner at More, I have found colleagues who are “thought-partners”, who not only challenge and encourage me but also each client, not seeking to fix a problem, but to find a better way forward together.

Outside More

Outside of More, I am delighted to be a board member of the Dakota Foundation (USA) and Chair of Governors of a local primary school. Alongside this, I am passionate about working with young people through our local church so that they can explore issues of faith, identity, and purpose for themselves. In my spare time, I love spending time with my family, reading, crocheting, cooking (and eating!), travelling, and learning new languages (to be put into use when I travel!).
