As an member of the Institute of Sisters of Mercy Australia and Papua New Guinea, I have taught in primary schools in both the Archdiocese of Melbourne and the Diocese of Sandhurst. I was blessed to study for a Masters in Religion and Religious Education at Fordham University in USA while a member of the Catholic Education Office in Sandhurst. Other ministries have been lecturing in Early Childhood at the then Mercy Teachers’ College and later at Australian Catholic University in Religious Education. St Beuno’s in North Wales provided me with training in Spiritual Direction and more recently I was part of a short enrichment time at Loyola House in North Guelph in Canada. Currently living in Hobart, I minister part-time as an Education Officer in Religious Education at the Tasmanian Catholic Education Office (TCEO). From 2013 until 2019 I was the coordinator of the Presentation Sisters’ Prayer Centre- Maryknoll. Its closure saw me return to the TCEO. I am also part of our Parish Sacrament Team.
