Why did you choose to work for Waverley Care?
I’ve been a professional fundraiser for 10 years, but working for Waverley Care means a lot to me because I have friends who have been affected by HIV and Hepatitis. It’s a great organisation doing important work – it’s an honor to play my small part.
Tell us about life before Waverley Care.
I grew up and went to university in Aberdeen, before moving to Edinburgh in 2010. I’ve had a long interest in the LGBT equality and rights sector in Scotland, having served on the Board of LGBT Youth Scotland and The Equality Network.
What do you most enjoy about working with Waverley Care
I love working for Waverley Care because I can see the real difference we are making to the lives of our service users and the communities we support.
What do you do in your spare time?
I’ve always loved music, playing the saxophone and piano (badly). My partner and I enjoy travelling the world when we get the chance.
Who inspires you?
I’m actually inspired by Greta Thunberg and all the millions of young people across the globe who are fighting to make the world a more socially conscious place.
