What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead growth, partnerships, engagement, and operations in education or purpose-led organisations, where I can build trusted communities, deliver measurable outcomes, and strengthen services for children, families, and stakeholders.

I'm leading Clouds Garden Preschool in Riyadh from launch, owning operations, admissions, parent engagement, office management, compliance, safeguarding, and team coordination.

At Kings College Riyadh, I drove marketing and partnership strategy with organisations including MBC Group, Qiddiya, and PIF. My campaigns increased enrolment by more than 200 students, lifted tour-to-admission conversions by 35%, increased expat family applications by 40%, and boosted online engagement by 150%.

Previously, I led PAPYRUS UK's London office, managed seven staff, raised more than £70,000 in contracts and funding, and developed a local-council partnership supporting a Young Mental Health strategy.

My background also includes quality, policy, training, volunteer management, fundraising, and communications roles at Phoenix Futures and ADAS West Essex Drugs Service. I bring experience across education, community engagement, charity operations, and stakeholder relationships in the UK and Middle East.
