‘Ordained in 2004, I have served as a parish priest, a University Chaplain, as an Area Dean, and now serve as a Cathedral Canon (since 2020). Education has always been central to my ministry: I served as Vice Chair of All Saints N20 Church of England school from 2013-2020. I also served as a Director of the Outstanding Wren Multi-Academy Trust (2017-2020). I am a Governor of Litchfield Cathedral School, and serve on their education committee. I worked in University Chaplaincy, and alongside undertook postr-graduate, doctoral study alongside. In my current role I lead Lichfield Cathedral’s education offering, which opens the Cathedral to primary, secondary and tertiary fields of education. I also lead on Christian formation and outreach. I am proud, alongside this role, to serve as an army chaplain in the Army Reserve.'
