After a career in direct and customer marketing, including banking and public sector roles, in 2007 Kate stepped out to raise her family while her husband’s role took them to live across Europe, to The Netherlands, Turkey, Russia, and Switzerland. She volunteered in each school community, culminating in running the Primary School PTA at the International School of Geneva.
Kate moved back to South Oxfordshire in 2018, where her three daughters still keep her very busy. She spends her free time catching up on TV box sets, going to the cinema, at the gym, and occasionally running or dog walking (when her Russian rescue dog is in the right mood!). She is on the Executive Committee of her local Scouts group and volunteered with Oxfordshire All In to produce their email newsletter throughout the pandemic
Kate says: “I was excited to return to a new work environment, refresh and update my skills, while also learning about local issues and helping OCF to make a difference across the county.”
