Why I joined:
Growing up in the area, after 15 years away, I was lucky enough to return home in 2020 to take over my father's business. Embedding myself in the community where I will now be raising my own family, I wanted to give back with some of the time, skills and resources I had spent my early career accruing.
I came across the NRCF during the floods, a time that both highlighted how amazing this community truly is and, to me, the power of coordination and aggregation across various causes and organisations. I loved the concept, vision, and long-lasting impact the foundation has already had and will continue to have, and I immediately wanted to contribute.
What I do:
Member of the Finance & Audit Committee, Member of the Investment Committee
