I am a Grant Manager at United Response, specialising in developing and fundraising for projects and programmes not funded through social care. I have a PhD in Early Modern History, and enjoyed playing a pivotal role in creating the Our Life Stories project.

I had the pleasure of developing the partnerships essential for this innovative endeavour, a first for United Response. Now that the project is underway, I continue to manage the relationship with the National Lottery Heritage Fund and provide strategic advice to the project team led by Charlotte Moore.

In my spare time I enjoy playing drums in a band and going for walks with my dog Peggy.
