I am the finance lead of a local multi-academy trust. I grew up on the east coast of Scotland in a small fishing town and studied economics in Glasgow before moving to Haringey (in 2007) to become an accountant. Later joining the third sector, I met a former trustee while working at an education charity in north London and discovered HarPA! I promptly joined as a Trustee and Treasurer in 2015 and continue to enjoy immensely working with and seeing the development of this important charity.
