## About

```text
At Moorfields Eye Charity, I lead prospect identification and qualification, ethical screening, and the development of reports to monitor research activity against fundraising targets. I also improved due diligence processes, including the escalation process for high-risk profiles.

At Barnardo’s, I set up prospect research in a 26-person fundraising team and developed prospect pipelines and due diligence processes. I also wrote donor communications and meeting briefs, and worked with the Data and CRM team on Salesforce and Power BI.

Earlier, at Royal Mencap Society, I established prospect research processes and developed a qualification matrix to support donor segmentation. My experience also includes managing store operations, staff, KPIs, and forecasting at Crewroom (JKUK Sports Ltd).
