I'm a commercial and compliance lawyer who has worked in technology companies and the oil and gas industry. I've been a local resident for 12 years and wanted to use my corporate experience to benefit the community, and help Michael and the team achieve their goals for the Project

I am a senior leader with over 15 years of experience in developing, growing and managing all fundraising activities across various income streams including Trusts and Foundations, Corporate Partnerships, Individual Giving, Major Donors, Digital Fundraising/Marketing and Events. I am a member of the Senior Management Team, holding a position of a Head of Fundraising at Single Homeless Project. Working within the homelessness sector over the last six years has helped me to build up my knowledge and understanding of the pressures our clients are facing and has strengthened my belief that with the right tools and investment, homelessness can be ended.

I worked in the events industry for 38 years, as exhibition organiser, event and venue manager and head of sustainability, before retiring in May 2025. Most recently, I worked at Olympia, a large events venue in Hammersmith and Fulham, where I led the venue’s sustainability programme. This included an important focus on our local community, including a successful and long-lasting partnership with Barons Court Project. I previously gained board experience as a trustee director of my company’s pension scheme for over 20 years and spent four years as governor of a community school in the borough, with specific responsibility for health and safety. I am pleased to have been given the opportunity of bringing my experience as a commercial partner of the charity to the trustee board.

I’ve lived in the area for over forty years, bringing up my two children here and I worked for the BBC for a large part of my career. In 2014, I was privileged to be elected as a local councillor and served as the deputy leader of Hammersmith and Fulham council with responsibilities for social inclusion, crime and homelessness, until 2022. Barons Court Project stood out as an outstanding organisation working tirelessly to support its service users and so I was delighted to join the board after retiring. I was a member of the Lyric Theatre board for eight years, school governor and a volunteer for the youth offending service. I’m a keen football fan and spend much of my time with my rescue dog who is convinced that squirrels are the enemy.
