Trustee
My pronouns are she/her.
As Fevered Sleep’s finance trustee, I oversee the charity’s financial affairs and help put robust financial procedures and record‑keeping in place.
I’m an ACCA‑qualified finance professional with more than 10 years’ experience across consulting, external audit, financial reporting and technical accounting. I’m part of the finance team at a UK FinTech, where I thrive in the fast pace of scaling up and learn something new every day. I’m passionate about scale‑ups, digital assets and future‑facing work at the intersection of the UK’s creative and tech sectors. Before this, I worked at PwC UK and Citi, managing global investment bank audits with a focus on valuation controls, business acquisitions and technical accounting.
I monitor and report on the charity’s financial health, oversee the financial budgets, and support the executive team and our independent accountants with quarterly management and annual statutory accounts.
I was drawn to Fevered Sleep because its programmes put children’s work and contemporary art at the centre, in ways that feel both playful and deeply serious. As a Tower Hamlets resident raising two children, I wanted to give something back to the community we live in and support spaces where young people can experiment, create and be heard. I’m a music school graduate and a big music lover, and I try to pass that passion on to my kids – so an organisation that nurtures creativity in children feels like a natural fit for me.
