I am Priest in Charge of Heddon-on-the-Wall, Matfen with Ryal and Stamfordham and also Diocesan Development Officer for Children and Youth Work and a member of the Diocese of Newcastle Board of Education. Throughout my ministry I have served in schools as Governor and have been a Chair of Governors since 2017.

I am honoured and delighted to be part of a Trust where students are enabled and encouraged to ‘Let their light shine’ (Matthew 5:16), and which believes in an education system that prepares students for success. It has been wonderful to be part of the NCEA as a Member for the last few years, but the time has come for me to become involved in a different capacity, and I am looking forward to being a Trustee.

I am married to Ron and we share our lives with our two dogs and love exploring Northumberland and beyond with them. We are also keen divers and enjoy learning more about the sport and discovering the world below the surface when we aren’t working.
