Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Having obtained a Degree in Structural Engineering, I have worked with the Elliott family for the last 30 years on various projects from London to Cavan.

Joining the 2025 Mellon Educate mission isn’t just about helping build classrooms; it’s about stepping into a legacy I’ve admired from afar. It’s putting into action what I’ve learned about leadership and giving—mirroring Mellon's belief that ordinary people, taking ordinary actions, can achieve extraordinary results.

I am passionate about using my skills to make a tangible difference in communities that need it the most. I believe that contributing to such impactful projects can bring about real, positive change and I am excited about the prospect of being part of a team dedicated to improving education and infrastructure for those in need. I will be heading to Capetown in November this year.
