Vice Chair
I have always volunteered in one way or another from a young age but as I progressed in more corporate roles in my career I realised I was developing skills that could be beneficial to the committee. Also, along with the majority of the population unfortunately I also have been personally affected by cancer and understand the toll it takes on both those affected as well as their families. Tayside Cancer Supports mission is so important to help these individuals during one of the most difficult times of their lives and I feel privileged to help with that.
