On meeting me you will realise I am not originally from these lovely parts – I come from Gants Hill in north Ilford on the London/Essex border. I am the youngest of four from Jewish/Italian parents and was brought up a Catholic with a rich heritage behind me.
I worked for 14 years as a Civil Servant (Inland Revenue!) and I followed that with seven years with a Religious Congregation of Sisters with ministries in Zambia, El Salvador and different parts of England before coming to the Newcastle Catholic Chaplaincy.
I hope you will find me approachable and friendly and able to talk to me about anything that's on your mind whether personal, emotional or spiritual - I am here for you!
