I previously studied a Bachelor of Visual Arts (1999) and a
Postgraduate Bachelor of Education, (2001) working as a
Secondary and Primary School Art Teacher, Music Teacher and
Coordinator of the Arts. My love of nurturing relationships
and supporting positive wellbeing of students, staff and families
led to working as a primary school chaplain. After giving many
seasons to caring for three young children I responded to a
calling to return to study in 2017 completing a Masters of
Divinity and a Graduate Diploma of Spiritual Direction. This lead
to working as the Creative Arts Minister of Aldgate Church of
Christ, offering Spiritual Direction and working in Theological
Reflection and Spiritual Direction courses at Tabor.
Throughout these seasons I have woven through leading and
participating in music and worship teams in churches and
conferences, written, recorded, and released two albums and
continue to preform in a rock band and jazz band on weekends.
My passion for education and learning is to facilitate safe,
trusting and encouraging spaces that help nurture courage, growth
and discernment in the exploration and challenges of
understanding who we are, our spirituality and our relationship
with God.
I have been married to Mark for 22 years, Mum to ; Daniel
14, Ayla 12 and Amber 9, and care for a loving and at times
crazy, 7 year old Labrador, Bella.
