I am a conference and events office manager, working throughout Scotland but based in Edinburgh. I have been a Christian since I was 14 and am involved in Charlotte Chapel. I serve in the music ministry, youth work and have just started a new ministry all about membership and getting "connected" by serving in the local church.

I think I am a really enthusiastic person and I love to be busy. I am still learning new things about the character of Jesus Christ and would want to be known as someone who loves Jesus and wants to serve him in everything I do.


(apart from Jesus and my husband who are top of the list obviously):

1) Food - eating out is a real hobby of mine. I really love pizza, Sunday lunch, Braai's (BBQ's in the UK) and anything chocolate and bad for you.
2) Family and Friends - My family are fab and I have really special friends. Peppermint tea and a good chat is the perfect way for me to spend my time.
3) Laughing - I love having a good time and helping others enjoy themselves: I love to laugh.
4) Swimming is my latest fitness fad and I am really enjoying it (you notice that fitness and exercise is last on the list!)


I have been involved in Rectrix since 2005 and I initially got involved because the vision about what Rectrix could do was so clear and strong. Its strength is that it is firmly built on relationships: our relationship with God through Jesus and our relationship with others.
I have learnt lots being mentored and mentoring others.

WHAT I DO IN RECTRIX?
I am passionate about having things organised and structured (I do get out... honestly!). My role on the board is a non-executive role mainly general administration and taking minutes of meetings. I also help the executive team with processes and procedures when I can.
