Message

At Royal Society for Blind Children (RSBC), I led research, evaluation and reporting across services supporting blind and partially sighted children and young people. I implemented and managed the CharityLog CRM, and produced impact reports, KPIs and Power BI dashboards for senior leaders and trustees.

At Samaritans, I managed a national research study on mental health provision within the UK rail industry. I designed research tools, oversaw data collection and analysis, and produced a final report with practical, evidence-based recommendations.

At University of Portsmouth, I produced market and insight reports to support strategic planning and course development. Across charity and public sector roles, I’ve worked with quantitative and qualitative evidence, considered data quality and limitations, and communicated findings to support informed decisions.
