In a career spanning over 14 years I have had the privilege of working for the last 2 and a half years as Head of Relationships and Partnerships at National Deaf Children’s Society. The role covers fundraising strategy, financial planning, and people management across multiple fundraising disciplines including Community & Events, Corporate Partnerships, Major Donors and Trusts and Foundations.

Prior to my current role I have held senior roles at Help for Heroes and Diabetes UK. I have a passion for continual professional development of myself and my colleagues and have developed my professional career through the Chartered Institute of Fundraising's Diploma and Certificate qualifications and the Futures Leaders Programme to name a few.
