I have a broad background in fundraising  from individuals, companies, grant-making trusts and statutory bodies, and in charity strategy and organisational development, which helps me advise charities at Moore Kingston Smith.

I moved into the charity world in a communications role for an international Christian development charity at the end of the last century! Since 2000 I was the most senior fundraiser at two hospices, an NHS charity, a national homelessness charity and a health think tank. I've been a CIOF Learning and Development Committee member, treasurer for Cultural Sector Network and a trustee for Rethink Mental Illness and Sustainable St Albans. I am currently treasurer for Hertfordshire Natural History Society. I hold a Diploma in Fundraising from the Chartered Institute.
