Born in Bristol, I have lived in several cities in England, including Cardiff, Cambridge, Portsmouth, Oxford and Ipswich. Growing up I also spent two years living in Hong Kong, and as of May 2022 I now live and work in Charlotte, North Carolina, US, with my husband, daughter, and two cats.

​

I studied English Literature at Anglia Ruskin University (BA Hons), followed two years later with training for ordination at Cuddesdon, Oxford, during which I completed a degree in Theology (University of Oxford, BA Hons). I then completed my MA in Theology, Ministry and Mission (Durham University), while developing my ministry as a curate in Ipswich. As a teenager I also earned an Associate Diploma in Piano Performance from Trinity College London, although I don't play as much as I'd like to these days!

​

I'm married to Lewis, and we are parents to a toddler, avid film watchers, enjoy going for walks, and eating good food. My loves in life include music, reading, photography, writing poetry, seeing the beauty in small things, and spending time with friends and family.
