It is my privilege to be a minister serving God, and I have been here inNorth Staffordshire Circuit since 2018. I currently have pastoraloversight of four Churches: Audley, Bradwell, Halmer End and St. Luke'sClayton. I am also currently involved in the Baldwins Gate regenerationproject.

I am passionate about pastoral support within the community, and findingways to enable people and congregations to be God's presence in theirown communities. Thereby enabling "Church" to be accessible to all, bothas traditional church and in new ways, using new spaces new ideas andwith new vision.

When I am not involved in ministry, I enjoy spending time with my dogRosie. She takes me on lots of walks to new and old places, herfavourite place is Trentham Gardens. I enjoy gardening, spending timewith friends, going on adventures, and visiting new places. Myparticular favourite hobby at the moment is knitting, but crafts of anydescription keep me happy.
