Free maths tuition changed Natasha’s life when she was 14 years old.

In her own words: “When people ask me what life was like at school, my first thought goes to the kindness my maths teacher showed me by offering extra tuition after school. I was 14 years old, on free school meals, with an interest in maths. What I gained was a seed of a career in finance.

“With extra tuition I excelled in maths, my confidence grew. I became the first in my family to attend university gaining a degree in Accounting and Finance and carving out a 20-year career in finance.”

Natasha then moved into wider leadership roles and has worked in finance, recruitment and fundraising in the charity sector, before joining Team Up in 2019.

Natasha now leads our fundraising team and consults on a variety of special projects which support Team Up’s growth and reach.
