I am working for the Church and Society Council of the Church of Scotland. My academic background is in Theology and Medieval History and I have also undertaken some study in the area of Conflict and International Development. Since leaving university five years ago I have been exploring ways to live out a faith and theology that helps and empowers those whom society often disempowers or marginalises. I am very excited to be working ecumenically with colleagues in JPIT as we seek to promote equality and justice.
