I was born and brought up in Liverpool and I first visited Iona in 2017. I have been aware of the Iona Community all my life, particularly through the music of the Wild Goose Worship Group and attending Big Sings at Greenbelt. After I graduated university with a degree in Geography, I volunteered on Iona working in the kitchen (see vegetarian section of the Iona Abbey Cookbook for proof!). I find the liturgy and ethos of the Iona Community very meaningful and I love the emphasis placed on action to bring about change. After I left the island I joined a family group and I have continued to be a member of the Young Adults Group.
I have previously been a member of two other Christian communities: Scargill Movement and Hilfield Friary. I love being part of community and making connections with other people.
I am very passionate about nature and protecting the environment. I have spent time volunteering for the RSPB and I am at the beginning of a career in Wildlife Conservation based in North East Scotland.
