Tell us a little bit about your family:

My Parents were Crosslinks missionaries in Kenya. My Dad is Kenyan and my Mum is English: they live in Harrogate where My dad is a vicar. I have an older sister Rosemary who lives in Sheffield, and my younger sister Ruth is out in Kenya.” 

What football team do you support?

Liverpool (of course, who else is there??!)

How did you become a Christian?

I became a Christian at a Faith camp when I was 11. An evangelist came to speak to us and described how Jesus wanted to come into our lives, clean out all the mess, and live inside us helping us to live the right way. I decided that was for me and I wanted that - so I made a commitment then!

What was the last thing you saw at the cinema and did you like it?

I saw the Pirates of the Caribbean and it was amazing!!

What attracted you to the job / Crosslinks?

Obviously the lovely people… and the chance to work with and encourage young people

If you could meet one person in the bible who would it be and why?  - and it can’t be Jesus!

David (King) - because he wrote the psalms and I am a songwriter so I would love to spend some time jamming with him.

Come back soon for another in depth interview!
