What I'm looking for

I want to transition into fundraising where I can strengthen community engagement and use evidence-based insight. I’ll bring confident administration, communications, and event coordination to help deliver measurable social impact.

I’m an education, administrative, and communications professional with over nine years’ experience across three continents, known for staying highly organised while managing diverse priorities—from creating and maintaining confidential safeguarding records to coordinating events and fundraisers.

In recent roles, I’ve supported attendance administration and safeguarding-focused reporting, created and scheduled social media content to improve engagement, and helped deliver client-ready events. I’m currently learning project management and data analytics, and I’m eager to transition into the fundraising sector, with a strong focus on community engagement and evidence-based social impact.
