  Annual giving officer

  Working as a member of the Development Office's Regular Giving team, I am responsible for bringing supporters on-board to donate to Durham's philanthropic projects. My work focuses on mass marketing and solicitation from our alumni and supporters via the mediums of direct mails and telephone fundraising, as well as exploring new avenues of communication and methods of support. The goal of my job is to ensure that we provide our supporters with the chance to support an area of Durham that truly matters to them, and to provide the institution with a broad base of dedicated, long-term supporters.

  Alumni programmes manager

  As part of the Alumni and Supporter Engagement team at Newcastle, my role is to oversee the methods, channels, and programmes through which alumni can stay engaged and active with the university and its communities. Essentially, I look after volunteering, career talks, mentoring etc. all those ways that alumni can make a difference to other alumni and students. Also, in my spare time I coach the Women’s Lacrosse Club here at Newcastle as well (can’t get enough it seems!)
