Jo is a teacher, educational leader and formation facilitator. She’s a mum, a daughter, a sister, an aunty and a spouse.
She completed a MA (Theology) in 2016 focusing on moral and systemic theology in regard to the human person and Church teachings on sexual orientation. She has recently begun her doctoral studies this year exploring, from a critical feminist standpoint, leadership within a global network of Catholic schools committed to social justice.
Jo has worked in Catholic secondary education for almost 20 years, the last six of which has been as an Educator Office in a national network of schools. Her work is grounded in a Gospel vision for social justice, that is, a critical education for peace, justice and inclusion that seeks to transform our world. She has taught Religious Education, Media Studies and English in Catholic secondary schools and held the positions of Director of Identity, Service-Learning Coordinator and Religious Education Coordinator.
Through her work she has had the opportunity of leading immersion and pilgrimage programs for students and staff to the Tiwi Islands, Kenya, India and Ireland inviting participants to come as guest and be fully present to all they encounter.
She is also one of the founders of Sophia Circle, a small group of women who invite other women to join them in exploring contemporary spirituality in our changing times.
