I am the Manager of Outreach Services for Concern Australia (visit www.concernaustralia.org.au)and currently oversee two different programs: Steps Outreach Service (outreach to homeless and marginalized young people) and LiveWires (children's drop in centre in the Collingwood Housing Estate). I love my job! I meet the most interesting people and get to spend my days having coffee and talking. I also present for the Values for Life School Seminars - particularly the "Femaleness & Identity" seminars. Hanging out with young people is my passion, it's what I love and who I am. I also occasionally speak at churches and conferences. Oh and I'm hoping you're all enjoying watching the new video clip of my old and dear friend MiG Ayesa in his debut song "Baby I Love Your Way" from his Debut album "MiG" out now in Australia, the Phillipines and finally THE US!!! Go Miggy! .

My Interests

Social activism - no scratch that, SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY (there is a difference), hanging out with friends, changing the world, church, my family, musical theatre, music in general, the movies... you get the drift, I'm quite an average person with the usual interests!
You scored as Emergent/Postmodern. You are Emergent/Postmodern in your theology. You feel alienated from older forms of church, you don't think they connect to modern culture very well. No one knows the whole truth about God, and we have much to learn from each other, and so learning takes place in dialogue. Evangelism should take place in relationships rather than through crusades and altar-calls. People are interested in spirituality and want to ask questions, so the church should help them to do this.

I'd like to meet:

I'm pretty friendly, so I'm interested in meeting a lot of different people, only I'm not so keen on people who don't really want to know me but instead want to build up their friends lists... if you can't be bothered writing me a note, and getting to know me first, you won't be approved! :)As you can see, I'm into a wide range of things, but mainly, people of substance interest me, so if you have something to say, share it with me! :)Also obviously: I love hearing all about my friends. Friendship is thicker than blood. You guys rock my world! xxxx

Music:

Well obviously I love musical theatre music, but even more than that... I love hearing musical theatre performers do their own stuff. Favourites include: MiG Ayesa, Natalie Bassingthwaighte, Christine Anu, Clifton Oliver, Jeremy Kushnier, Rodger Corser, Peter Murphy, Peter Eldridge, Mark Richard Ford, basically anyone who's ever been in the musical RENT, and those who were in the Aussie cast of Fame, and well ... Kane Alexander of course!I also like rock and pop. Daniel Beddingfield (YES I KNOW MEL, I am jealous!) is my favourite. U2 are up their with my favourites! Coldplay are great, Pink is good, Guy Sebastian, you get my drift.

Movies:

Currently my favourite movie is Walk The Line, but there are so many movies I love! You can't go past serious movies like "And the Band Played On", "An Inconvenient Truth" and "Bowling for Columbine". I also love Rent, Beaches, CentreStage, School of Rock, Steel Magnolias, The Wedding Date, The Wedding Singer, Zoolander, Reality Bites, Grease, The Wizard of Oz, Moulin Rouge, Jarhead, Brokeback Mountain, Ladder 49, Running on Empty, The Thing Called Love, Chicago, The Village, Gladiator, 8MM, ... make me laugh make me cry, you get the drift etc etc

Television:

Alltime fave show would have to be Law & Order SVU, but over the years, I've had an interest in a few different shows. Generally shows that excite me are crime based (social worker in me!) such as Law & Order (all of them) CSI (all but the ridiculous Miami one, hate it, it bores me) and medical shows like ER, House or Chicago Hope (back when it was on. I was quite a fan of Sex & The City too, and currently enjoy the odd episode of Entourage (okay I own all of the episodes on DVD but whatever right!?).Aside from that, I watch shows because people are in them such as Last Man Standing (for Rodger Corser), Neighbours (for Nat B and Maria Mercedes), It Takes Two (for Sarah Ryan) and RockStar:INXS (for Miggy)... once they leave the show, I don't bother with it anymore! :)

Books:

So many, it's hard to remember them all. Clearly a fan of the bible... but also "The Cross & The Switchblade" (Dave Wilkerson), "Diary of a Dangerous Vision" (Andy Hawthorne), "Chasing The Dragon" (Jackie Pullinger), "Captivating" (John & Stasi Eldredge), "Holding The Man" (Timothy Connigrave), "The Power of One" (Bryce Courtney), "Scar Tissue" (Anthony Keidis), Little Girl Lost (Drew Barrymore)

Heroes:

William Booth, Jesus, Mother Teresa, Dave Wilkerson, Jackie Pullinger, Martin Luther King Jr, my parents, John Smith, Phil Wall, Andy Hawthorne, Shirley Osborn, Debra Hirsch, Cath McKinney, basically anyone who's going out there and DOING stuff rather than just talking about it!I also admire people who go out there and try to achieve their dream, people like my friends Miguel, Pete, Maria, Johnny, Thern, Mattie, Nathan, Damion and the beautiful Ana Maria. And people who acknowledge their demons and fight them instead of hiding from them, like Joaquin Phoenix, Drew Barrymore, Colin Farrell etc.I have to say that right now, I'm also looking up to The Glue Network and the awesome work they're doing. Check out their video: And the Glue Network - These guys are awesome, check out their video:
