My work sits at the intersection of theology, incarceration, and restoration. Through theological study, writing, and public engagement, I seek to serve the Church and those on the margins with faithfulness, clarity, and hope.

Rooted in lived experience and shaped by theological formation, I am particularly interested in how the Christian gospel speaks to transformation, dignity, and the rebuilding of lives.

Equip

Through teaching, preaching, writing, and theological study, I seek to help people deepen their understanding of Scripture and the Christian life.

My work holds together biblical reflection, theology, and practical application, equipping individuals, churches, and practitioners to engage faith with clarity, courage, and compassion.

Encourage

Much of my ministry focuses on those experiencing hardship, rejection, or limitation.

I seek to offer pastoral support, compassion, and a message of hope that strengthens the weary and reminds people of the dignity and purpose God has placed within them.

Enrich

Whether in churches, community spaces, or prisons, I seek to contribute to the restoration of individuals and communities.

I believe the Church participates in God’s work of renewal when it shows up with humility, presence, and hope.

My Story

My life has been shaped by adversity, but also by grace.

Having experienced exclusion from education and a significant period of incarceration, I know what it means to feel unseen and unheard. Yet through Christ, these experiences became part of a journey of transformation and calling.

Today, my work is rooted in a desire to ensure that those on the margins are not forgotten but welcomed, supported, and equipped. My story is ultimately one of restoration, hope, and purpose.

Out of this journey, I am also writing a devotional narrative reflecting on my encounter with God during my time in prison and the transformative grace that reshaped my life.

I also write reflections and essays engaging theology, lived experience, and the life of faith.

Formation & Vocation

I am currently studying theology in Oxford and discerning ordained ministry within the Church of England.

Alongside academic study, I remain actively involved in prison ministry and resettlement contexts, supporting faithful and sustainable engagement between churches, chaplaincy teams, and community organisations.
