broadcasting. She spent several years in Yorkshire working as a BBC Journalist,
lived in a lay community in Northern France for two years and, most recently,
has been involved in full-time voluntary service as a Catholic Youth Mission
Leader. In her spare time she is something of a chocoholic...but that's
a secret!

worked as a primary teacher in Hartlepool, in Higher Education training
new RE teachers at Maryvale Institute, and was most recently Head of RE
at a secondary school in Birmingham. Apart from evangelisation, her other
passions are playing football and the bass guitar 'though not necessarily
at the same time!
Emily’s background is in Youth Ministry and Evangelism. This has involved mission experience in Ghana, five years as a member of Sion Catholic Community for Evangelism and work with the Catholic Evangelisation Services (CaFE). When unwinding, she’ll be found at dance classes and salsa clubs, or enjoying the view from a mountain!
