What I do

As Partnerships Officer, I work with the team and with community foundations to deliver UKCF-managed partnerships that generate meaningful and lasting benefits for communities across the UK.  My role combines day-to-day programme management with strategic input, focusing on building strong relationships, bringing clarity and organisation to complex projects, and enabling effective collaboration to help our programmes achieve meaningful impact.

About me

I've worked as a care support worker, in market research and in the air as cabin crew, but I'm most energised when I'm collaborating with others toward making a positive and sustainable impact on people's lives.  I've volunteered with a number of community-driven causes and organisations, from setting up a food bank during the pandemic to supporting asylum seekers in my local community.  I love getting to do this more in my job and helping to amplify the brilliant work in local communities all across the UK.

Outside of work

If I'm not watching re-runs of Friends with my housemate, I love keeping active at the gym, getting lost in a good book, practicing my piano skills or exploring new coffee and food spots!
