Particular Focus in Chaplaincy

I am a Christian Inter-faith Chaplain which means I am a Christian Minister, but I seek to be a support and blessing to people of all faiths and people of none. I also seek to foster a spirit of understanding and peacemaking among our whole University community and beyond.

Other info you would like to share

I am married to Terry and worship at Parramatta Mission (almost next door to Parra CBD campus)

Favorite … (film or food or music or sport or ?)

I’m half-Chinese, so I love food of all types. I was a classical musician but like many different types of music and I follow soccer.

Wisdom saying (e.g. quote or sacred text)

When you recover or discover something that nourishes your soul and brings joy,

care enough about yourself to make room for it in your life.

– Jean Shinoda Bolen
