I've felt called to ministry for a long time now, but never imagined when I first met with a DDO that I would be studying for an Oxford degree, training for ordination and mothering our two little boys here at Cuddesdon. It all felt a bit like an impossible dream!
Before coming to Cuddesdon, I worked for eight years in London on major transport and infrastructure projects, most recently as a project sponsor with Crossrail. I enjoyed the frenetic pace of life, and I do miss it sometimes but the skills I gained in my career are serving me well as I train here. I've always loved academic study and I'm enjoying the rigours of the Oxford BA. It's stretching and challenging both academically and personally.
All in all, I couldn't imagine a warmer environment for living and training, as we work out God's calling on our lives.
