Whilst practised as an architect, I was given the opportunity in 2008 to join a team, who had been asked to design a new type of sustainable kindergarten in Ghana by the Sabre Trust.

The process, delivery and result of this voluntary work was overwhelming and led me to putting my architecture career on hold and accepting the position of Fundraising Manager at the Sabre Trust.

This role initially required me to write a fundraising strategy, which we have now been implementing for the past 2 years with great success and have plans to grow on the foundations we have built.
