I grew up in Oklahoma before coming up to Oxford as a Visiting Student to read PPE at New College. After earning a BA from The University of Tulsa, I worked in the energy industry before returning to the UK for my graduate studies, reading for an MPhil in Political Thought and Intellectual History and a PhD in History at King’s College, Cambridge.
My career in alumni relations and fundraising began during my time at King’s, when I started volunteering on a regular basis in the College’s Development Office. Since returning to Oxford, I have held a variety of development roles at Jesus, Mansfield, and Magdalen Colleges, as well as ‘up the hill’ at Oxford Brookes University.
I joined The Queen’s College in 2019 as Director of Development, overseeing the Old Members’ Office and leading the creation and implementation of the College’s fundraising strategy. In 2020 I was elected to a Supernumerary Fellowship and work closely with the Provost and Governing Body as well as the College’s Benefactors.
In 2021, the College launched the second phase of its Access All Areas campaign, which has now raised over £40 million in permanent endowment and spend-down funding for student support, access and outreach, and academic Fellowships.
If you would like to learn more about the College’s current priorities or discuss how you might be able to support Queen’s either now or in the future, please get in touch.
