About me.
I am a fundraising and research development strategist with over 14 years of experience helping academics, not-for-profit organisations and higher-ed institutions secure transformative funding and build strategic partnerships. Specialising in research development, grant writing and driving and advising on philanthropic strategies, I have a proven track record of securing millions of dollars in funding for research initiatives across the not-for-profit and higher education sectors, alongside millions in unrestricted funding and fostering strategic industry partnerships to achieve revenue goals.
With a deep understanding of the academic landscape, I provide expert consulting services to universities, research centres and academic professionals. I guide my clients through the complexities of grant applications, funding strategies and stakeholder management. My expertise lies in aligning research objectives with funding opportunities, crafting compelling proposals and fostering long-term relationships with donors and industry partners.
I also sit on several boards where I advise on fundraising strategy, helping institutions develop sustainable approaches to securing funding and building their capacity. I am passionate about empowering individuals and organisations with the tools they need to amplify the impact of their work and secure the resources they need.
