I have had the privilege of serving the South East District, as one of the Assistant Chairs, since the launch of the District. My time as a Circuit minister ended in August 2009 and Tom and I moved to Crowborough, in the Tunbridge Wells Circuit. My travels as a minister took me to Bromley (Kent), Canterbury, London Mission Plumstead - Thamesmead (now part of Lesnes Circuit) and Eastbourne (now part of the Central Sussex United Area). During my time in Canterbury and Thamesmead I also served as a Prison Chaplain - 3 years at Canterbury and 10 at Belmarsh. As one of the prisoners pointed out when I was leaving Belmarsh, I had served longer than most of those committed by the courts!

I am married to Tom and we have a large extended family. My hobbies include genealogy - more an obsession really, and reading. Since moving to Crowborough I have also enjoyed walking in the lovely countryside that surrounds us.
