I am originally from the United States and was born in Seattle, Washington. My husband Ivan and I moved to the UK in 2001.
I have studied theology, cultural anthropology and chaplaincy and completed an MA in healthcare chaplaincy, alongside experience working in education, community care and for the church. Most recently I worked as associate vicar and ‘priest missioner’ for the Church of England.
This experience, alongside my 12 years in ordained ministry, has shaped my understanding of spiritual and pastoral care and influenced my vocation which has equipped me for my role at Barts Health.
I enjoy walking with and sharing the love of God with others, and I feel privileged to be invited into the lives of patients and families during times of difficulty and vulnerability.
