Debra joined Brighton College in 2009 to set up the Development and Alumni Relations Office, moving from the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, where she had worked for twelve years raising funds for the Kew Foundation.


Having read English at Trinity College, Oxford, Debra began her career in Development with the National Trust, initially in York.  “The transition from mainstream charity to independent school has been very exciting, and I love the Brighton College environment – stimulating, vibrant and never a dull moment!

I am very much looking forward to helping the college realise its development plans, and to getting to know Old Brightonians and the wider college community.”  Debra lives in Steyning, and outside of school enjoys time with her family and tending her two allotments.  A very keen gardener, she is looking forward to getting her hands dirty on the new Brighton College allotment.
