Meet the Innovation Team

Hailing from Aberdeenshire, I studied and worked in Marine Biology for a while before becoming a youth worker for a small youth charity in Scotland. While there, I got to join the first 'Innovation in Youth Ministry' cohort with Youthscape and Princeton Seminary. That kick-started my passion for innovation and a year later...here I am. I love Youthscape’s heart for local youth work but also their mission to support and equip youth workers around the UK. My role centres on prioritising innovation in youth ministry: identifying young people’s needs in an ever-evolving culture and meeting them where they’re at. Beyond that, I’m passionate about my dog, sharks, coffee and the TV show Brooklyn 99.

I create new resources for youth work as well as overseeing the Youthscape Innovators programme. In the summer, I head up the Satellites Kids team leading a group of incredible volunteers.I’ve previously worked as a touring actor, a children’s worker, a secondary schools worker and an usher at the cinema. I love Batman and Disney as well as taking part in improvised comedy, writing songs and devouring films.
