Currently Director of Recruitment for Ambitious Impact (AIM), working to find exceptionally talented and dedicated new founders for our programs, including our flagship Charity Entreprenurship Incubation Program. We offer training, mentorship, and funding for multiple high-impact career paths, launching organisations such as LEEP, FEM and the Shrimp Welfare Initiative.

Previously, I was Director of Partnerships and Field Operations for the Maternal Health Initiative (https://​​maternalhealthinitiative.org), a global health charity training healthcare workers in lower-income contexts on family planning counseling. I co-founded MHI in September 2022 with Sarah Eustis-Guthrie out of the Charity Entrepreneurship Incubation Programme.

Prior to that, I founded Effective Self-Help (https://​​effectiveselfhelp.org) a research organisation studying the most effective ways people can improve their wellbeing and productivity. I’ve also worked about 20 jobs before all this mostly much less relevant to impactful work, from music festivals and call centers to vineyards and youth counseling.
