I have worked in the UK and international non-for-profit sector for over 20 years, mainly in health and education.  Currently, I work for Bioregional, an environmental social enterprise and charity, which champions a better way to live by creating better, more sustainable places to live, work and do business. My focus is on developing philanthropic, lottery and statutory fundraising across the organisation, and by doing so, I contribute to achieving our vision of One Planet Living.  Previously, I worked for the Institute of Cancer Research, where I managed a portfolio of trusts and foundations supporting science projects. I had several similar roles prior to that time, where I worked with The National Lottery Community Fund or managed trusts, foundations and corporate partnerships, including at organisations such as The Childrens Society, CARE International UK, and a few others. I studied international developemnt at the University of Readings Graduate Institute of International Development, Agriculture and Economics.
