After years working for a bank and then as support staff for the OPP, and then doing a BA and M. Div. I was Deaconed on Oct 6th, 1996 and Priested on Palm Sunday 1997. I began my ministry as a Curate, then Priest in charge, in the Diocese of Moosonee with a 6 point parish based out of Geraldton, flying into one point and taking a 3 hr train ride for another. I then moved to my first parish, with 4 points, out of South Porcupine. Then I served a three-point parish based in Bobcaygeon for 7 yrs. I was then asked to assist St Peter’s Carlton, for 4 yrs, in their discernment of the future and eventual amalgamation with St Simon’s. On Jan 1st 2017, after a successful amalgamation of St Peter’s & St Simon’s my ministry serving St Barnabas started. With a focus on outreach to the community and pastoral care, I have been blessed to be a part of this parish. We continue to pray and listen to how God wants us to be the family of God in this special region of the city.

I was born and raised in South Africa and moved to Canada with my child in 2017.  I have 20 years of work experience in South Africa in a variety of industries and disciplines.  I love numbers and excel spreadsheets - they are my happy place :-)  I value mental and physical health and am blessed to work with Rev. Jeanette and the St. Barnabas team who are incredibly kind and supportive. I often say that coming into the office is like coming home, to a safe and welcoming space!
