Hi! I am Sophie. I am the Head of Undergraduate Studies for the Faculty of Ministry Practice, having completed both a BSocSci (Youth Work) and MDiv at Tabor. I'm hoping to embark on a PhD journey in the next two years. I have been working in the church and Christian NGO space for the last 10 years in the areas of children, youth, young adults, pastoral ministry and justice. I have always been curious and loved learning new ideas and skills. One of my passions is the interplay between what we learn and how we live it out.

I had over 10 years of experience in lay ministry in Lutheran congregations (Canberra and Adelaide) before studying my BTh and Grad Dip Min at Tabor. I joined the Ministry Practice Faculty in 2008, and am currently the Head of the Spiritual Direction and Chaplaincy & Spiritual Care programs. I have a keen interest in Christian spirituality, formation and Christian reflective practice. I enjoy leading spiritual retreats and practicing as a spiritual director. My personal passion for reflective practice that contemplates and cultivates holistic Christian formation was the focus of my PhD research, and I’m keen to help students do this too. My approach to learning and teaching is founded upon the potency of vulnerability in the educator-student encounter; my hope is that students engage with not only what I know, but also with who I am. I love life in the north eastern suburbs of Adelaide with Sonia and our five children, and enjoy connecting with creation through gardening, camping, and trips home to the family farm in NSW where I grew up. My faith communities include Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, Para Vista, and a small but growing local house church network.
