Helen followed her undergraduate Physics degree with experimenting with various careers while trying to figure out ‘what she wanted to be when she grew up’. Having finally worked that out a few years ago aged 36, she is now the Minister-in-Training here at Laindon Baptist Church, working at church part-time whilst in her final year of study at Regent’s Park College in Oxford. She shares her home with her two teenage children, one dog, three chickens, two chinchillas and two hamsters! She enjoys puzzles of various sorts, Disney movies and drinking tea, especially with friends, and wishes she was better at house work.
