"I have been volunteering at Bradford Cathedral on the welcome team and the livestreaming team since moving to Bradford in April. I have loved getting to know the community and hearing the excitement for the future, particularly the role the cathedral could play in the City of Culture 2025.

"Before ordination I worked as a theatre producer, director and designer as well as in arts management. With this experience Bishop Toby has asked if I would help prepare the churches in Bradford for 2025 and to begin to discern a vision for how we, as Christians, can come together and play our unique part in this exciting opportunity. I am looking forward to working with the events, visitors and welcome teams as well as continuing to support Artspace to continue to grow in confidence to be voices of hope and hospitality in our beautiful city.
