Over the last few years, I’ve led large-scale fundraising events, built campaigns that connect people to purpose, and secured funding to help make real impact happen. Whether it’s a 6,000-person run or a 24 hour challenge, I’m at my best when I’m creating something meaningful with a great team around me. I care a lot about the why behind what I do, and I love working on projects that bring people together and make a difference. Alongside this, I create social media content that helps tell stories, engage audiences and drive real impact.
