Heather transitioned into fundraising in Australia in the late 90s and implemented integrated advancement strategies before they were widely recognised.
Since then, Heather has led integrated teams in higher education, secondary schools, health and medical research, and professional associations. She has personally secured several six- and seven-figure donations and contributed to major campaigns ranging from $10M to $300M. Her expertise covers the entire philanthropy and fundraising lifecycle, including overseeing over $25M in strategic partnerships.
Driven by a commitment to making a difference in the for-purpose sector, Heather joined Global Philanthropic as a Senior Associate. She is excited to use her extensive experience to empower nonprofit leaders, to amplify their impact through strategic, purpose-driven initiatives that meet and exceed their most ambitious philanthropic and fundraising goals.
Heather holds an MBA International, a Vincent Fairfax Fellowship in Ethical Leadership, and a certificate of completion in Social Impact Outcomes Measurement. Having served on various boards, commissions, and as a conference chair and speaker, her significant volunteer commitments earned her a CASE (Council for Advancement & Support of Education) Laureate designation in 2020.
When not immersed in professional endeavours, Heather spends quality time with family and friends, sails or scuba dives with a camera in hand, swims, and walks the beach daily with her dog, Dexter.
