Growing up in a farming environment has deeply influenced my professional journey, instilling a lifelong passion for agriculture and rural life. This drives my commitment to ensuring that sustainable land management, food production, and processing are prioritised in future economic policies.I specialise in rural business support and funding programs, having delivered rural grant funding schemes since 2010. Over the years, I've facilitated over £12m in grant funding to rural businesses, helping them grow and thrive. My expertise lies in diversification, with a keen interest in sustainable land management, food production, and processing. Before joining Ngage, my career was rooted in Economic Development, complemented by an honours degree in City and Regional Planning.
