The court of the Diocese of British Columbia is composed of five persons:
- Two clergy: one to be appointed by the bishop, and one to be elected at Synod, neither of whom need be members of Synod.
- Three lay: one to be appointed by the bishop, and two to be elected at Synod, one at least of whom shall be a lawyer of five (5) years’ standing or more, none of whom need be members of Synod.
Members are not subject to term limits; they serve until their term is ended by circumstances beyond their control, or until they choose to resign.

I am putting my name forward to be a member of diocesan court because I enjoy being part of the decision-making process and I love the collegiality found while doing this type of work. I arrived in the Diocese of Islands & Inlets in August 2025. In the Diocese of Rupert’s Land, I was on diocesan council as a lay person, as a transitional deacon, and as a priest. I was elected to the Executive Committee from 2022-2024. I attended Provincial Synod twice and General Synod once. I was the Diocese of Rupert’s Land representative on the Provincial Executive from 2021-2025. I was also part of the National Chaplain’s Network (now defunct), the planning team for three Anglican-Lutheran clergy conferences, and the chair of the Joint Anglican and Lutheran Committee for 2SLGBTQ+ Education, Advocacy, and Policy (now defunct).
I look forward to the opportunity of being part of the leadership within the Diocese of Island & Inlets. I see being on Diocesan Court as an opportunity to learn about the processes that take place within this diocese, as well as bringing a transgender voice to the table. Having a position on Diocesan Court will hopefully help me to work at making our church a safer place for the queer community within our diocese.
Beyond church activities, I love to read and learn. My to-read lists and piles are never-ending. I am taking classes at the College of Emmanual & St Chad, working towards a master’s in theological studies.
