I’ve worked in the charity sector for many years. I started out leading cycling trips across Cuba, Mexico and China, before working my way up to leading many of the biggest fundraising products in the sector – including Race for Life, Christmas Jumper Day, World’s Biggest Coffee Morning and Stand up to Cancer.
My background is in fundraising, marketing and communications, but I’m passionate about the research, support and campaigns we deliver. Before joining Breast Cancer Now, I worked in leadership roles at both Macmillan Cancer Support and Cancer Research UK. So I know what it means to be there for people affected by cancer today, as well as how we drive progress through research for people long into the future.
I’m all about experimentation and innovation – acting quickly and learning from both success and failure alike. The world changes quickly, and the needs of people affected by breast cancer do too. We need to be dynamic and adaptable to stay ahead and make the most of the opportunities on offer.
Most of all, I’m passionate about making an impact. I know first-hand the importance of our mission, and I’m determined to help us make our vision a reality – that by 2050, everyone diagnosed with breast cancer will live, and be supported to live well.
