I am a fundraising and alumni engagement professional who has worked in the Charity and Education sectors. My fundraising career started as the first fundraiser at Viva Network (Viva), a charity working with those who serve at-risk children around the world. I remain a trustee of Viva and chair the Fundraising Committee as well as a trustee of Discovering Prayer. I was the Development Manager at Regent’s from 2008 to 2013 and have since worked as Deputy Development Director at Oriel College, Development Director at Lady Margaret Hall (LMH)  and Associate Director for Partnershops at The Skoll Centre for Social Entrepreneurship at the Said Business School. Most recently, I covered the parental leave of the Director of Development at St Peter’s College.

I hold a degree in Theology from the University of Nottingham and a certificate and diploma in management studies from the Open University and Kingston University Business School. In my spare time I love to walk, swim, cook and drink copious amounts of tea.

I am very much looking forward to working with the Development Team, the Principal, alumni and colleagues across the College. I am particularly delighted to have the opportunity to come back to Regent’s at such an exciting time with it’s 100^th anniversary of being in Oxford on the horizon.
