About Me

I am responsible for building relationships with OCF's individual and business donors and charitable funders, helping them to direct their generosity where it is most needed. 

Before taking up this role I worked as OCF’s communications lead for eight years, giving me an extensive knowledge of our donor community, funding priorities and impact. I joined OCF after nine years at local business psychology firm OPP Ltd, where I was responsible for digital and print communications, book publishing and translation. 

I have a Master’s degree in Literary Translation from UEA, and studied English and French at Warwick University. I volunteer as a Guide leader in North Oxford, and am a trustee of WATSAN, a water and sanitation charity providing aid to impoverished rural communities in Uganda.
