I spent all my childhood in Cranleigh and became a committed Christian whilst a pupil a Glebelands School. Following this, I became involved with Cranleigh Baptist Church where I attended the Youth Group and Girl Covenanter class and where I was baptised.

After completing a biological sciences degree at Warwick University and spending 3 years in science research in Glasgow, I returned to Cranleigh in 1982, somewhat disillusioned with the world of academic research. I retrained in administration and worked for 4 years at the University of Surrey in Guildford. In 1986, I spent a 3 week holiday in Mexico visiting some Wycliffe missionaries (Kitty and Leslie Pride) and returned home with a new vision for overseas mission work. This eventually led me to Redcliffe College in 1988, where I spent 2 years as a student and then joined the staff in 1990.

The years since 1990 at Redcliffe College have been extremely fulfilling, being part of an international and interdenominational Christian community involved in training men, women and families for cross cultural mission work in today's world. For most of that time my main role has been in running the College's placement programme but from September 2004 this changed to being responsible for Admissions.

After being single for many years, I married Colin in October 2003, who had been a lecturer at the College since 1998. Previously, Colin had taught at Northumbria College in Berwick-on-Tweed and also, for 9 years, at the Theological College of Northern Nigeria in Jos, Nigeria.

Colin and I are both involved in a multicultural Anglican church in Gloucester (St. James) and in our spare time we enjoy walking in the beautiful Gloucestershire countryside.
