As Philanthropy Manager, I work to identify, secure, and steward partnerships and support for LSHTM’s philanthropic priorities. This includes support for scholarships, fellowships, capital improvements to LSHTM's infrastructure, the endowment and research priorities.
Our team works closely with researchers from across LSHTM, including our Medical Research Council Units in The Gambia and Uganda, and our institution's multi-disciplinary Centres. I work particularly closely with our Centre for Maternal, Adolescent, Reproductive & Child Health and our specialist LSHTM Nutrition Group.
I joined LSHTM in July 2024, having previously worked as a caseworker and constituency assistant for Members of Parliament and in various Philanthropy roles within an African NGO, securing funds to improve access to healthcare across the continent.
