Philanthropy is my passion: I connect purpose-driven individuals and organisations to the causes and projects that inspire them.

As Head of Development at Full Fact, I lead the fundraising efforts for the UK’s leading independent fact-checking organisation.

I have over ten years’ experience of philanthropy, trusts and partnerships fundraising and leading successful teams in the non-profit sector.

I began my career at Gonville and Caius College (University of Cambridge), where I ran the most successful Oxbridge college telephone campaign to date, before moving into managing the philanthropy programmes at Prostate Cancer UK, Centrepoint and London Business School. At London’s Air Ambulance Charity, I established and grew the Philanthropy and Special Events function, founding the Innovation Circle, fundraising six figure gifts to the Up Against Time Appeal, and working with the Royal Patron, HRH the (then) Duke Of Cambridge, on a £1 million Gala. As Executive Director of Magic Bus UK, I led an international fundraising team empowering young people out of extreme poverty across India.

From 2020 – 2023 I was Trustee of Magic Me Arts, an inter-generational arts charity addressing social isolation, where I also enjoyed combining my love of cocktails and party-hosting as a volunteer Cocktails in Care Homes manager!
