About me

I am an independent charity consultant, with 20 years’ experience working with human rights, migration and social justice organisations.

I have always been deeply committed to the not-for-profit sector, and passionate about its role in bringing about a better, fairer society. I support organisations to develop, deliver and evaluate their work, and bring particular expertise, insights and connections on displacement and migration issues.

My career has taken me into various senior management roles in the human rights sector. I ran projects for the United Nations Development Programme and the International Organization for Migration (IOM), and was manager of UK charity European Dialogue. I was policy director at the Migrants Rights Network, and coordinated the All Party Parliamentary Group on Migration.

Since 2015, I have worked with numerous charities, trusts and foundations as a consultant. I draw on my wide expertise and contacts to help organisations develop new projects, partnerships and funding streams.

I am a firm believer in good charity governance, and have been a trustee for several charities including Hackney March Partnership and Refugee Support Devon, where I am currently vice chair of the Board.

After many years living in London, I am based near to Exeter, in Devon. I mainly work remotely and travel for work where needed. I am happy to work alone, but also enjoy collaborating with other consultants and agencies.
