Personal profile

Biography

My DTh research is titled Theology on the Run: Intensifying Pioneer Ministry through the lens of Ultrarunning.

This research examines ultrarunning as a context where individuals encounter the sacred through physical endurance and nature, offering insights for pioneers ministers in the Christian tradition, who seek to engage with spiritual seekers in non-traditional spaces.

I adopt an an interdisciplinary approach to research mainly exploring and gathering data through qualilative ethnographic approaches. With a background in music, art, and outdoor adventure sports, combined with extensive experience in logistics and global artistic touring within majority world contexts, I specialise in enterprise development and creative project management.

I bring a distinctive combination of organisational efficiency, creative leadership, innovative problem-solving, and strategic thinking, all grounded in a reflective, ethnographic perspective, to enhance and empower project teams.

Passionate about launching and supporting creative initiatives, I help organisations shape their vision, chart their path, and unlock new potential. Drawing on extensive experience in creative entrepreneurship and project formation, I guide organisations to define and express their purpose, empowering their mission and fostering impactful transformation.

I’m here to help organisations break new ground and drive real change.
