I support philanthropists to leverage resources and influence to make and impact in the world. Together we are working towards a more equitable future for every child. Building from a passion for education and extensive experience in the sector, I now work to create transformative change on the whole ecosystem that supports a child's development. This year I was selected to represent New Zealand alongside leading philanthropy colleagues from across UNICEF's global network to create meaningful partnerships with international philanthropists to fulfill their impact goals.
