I’ve enjoyed working for Devon Air Ambulance for over 10 years, joining in November 2014 as Finance Director. My previous role was for a FTSE 100 company while my background was in auditing, having qualified as an accountant while working in London before a couple of years working in Sydney.

While at Devon Air Ambulance my role has incorporated a number of different elements, currently including oversight of the facilities team as well as finance and involvement in governance and risk as part of the senior leadership team. I also became the accountable manager in early 2025 which designates me as responsible to the Civil Aviation Authority for the operations of our two aircraft.
I’ve lived in Devon since returning from Australia over 15 years ago and previously graduated from Exeter University. Since 2021 I have been a Trustee of Step One, a Devon based Charity which empowers people with mental health problems, learning disabilities and neurodiversity to achieve their goals and live more independently. I currently Chair the Finance Committee for Step One and sit on the Nominations Committee.

My role as a Director of the Institute of Legacy Management has helped me to support and develop an organisation which is crucial to the sector, while providing excellent insight and learning opportunities in an area which is vitally important to Devon Air Ambulance.

I enjoy keeping myself busy around Devon, coaching youth football and continuing to play myself. I also enjoy running having completed a number of marathons and ultra marathons, and am at my happiest when attending gigs and musical festivals.
