Bio
Sabina Pasokhy
Nora is a fantastic manager, colleague and leader. Nora has inspired me to be a bolder, braver fundraiser, she leads by setting an aspiring example. Nora makes the organisations she works for better by holding them to account and isn't afraid to ask tough questions. No one can network like Nora! The partnerships, opportunities and relationships that develop as a result are impressive, but second to Nora's ability to find a connection in a crowd, or to strike up a conversation with a stranger. Nora balances her friendly and supportive nature with high expectations as a manager and a strive for success. I hope we get to work together again in the future.

I really enjoyed my time working with Nora and creating change at Scope. She is passionate, dedicated and experienced in philanthropy and across fundraising. She was a great support to me as we developed the team and she led on creating our major donor our strategy including rebuilding our donor base, ambassadors, patrons and networks. She created new initiatives to drive income and worked well across teams with other colleagues.
