The year you joined the charity

May 2017.

A brief overview of your role – what are you responsible for?

As Fundraising Assistant I am the gatekeeper to all fundraising enquiries! If you get in touch about any fundraising ideas you may have, I'm your first port of call and will hand you over to one of our fabulous Fundraising Officers to support you.

I also support the team on all of our wonderful events, so you might spot me calling register on the coach for the Three Peaks Challenge, or wrangling eco-friendly cheer equipment at the London Marathon.

Your favourite part of your role

I am a very creative person and love the fact that one day I can be helping someone with their Amsterdam Marathon fundraising and the next helping swim schools organise their Splash Now events.

Your biggest achievements

I am currently studying for my Master's degree in Science, with a focus on meningitis treatment and diagnosis.

A fun fact about yourself

I am Meningitis Now's resident Harry Potter nerd and am a proud mummy to a four-year-old bunny, Luna, who is just as mischievous as her namesake!
