Betty has qualifications in science teaching, environmental management and theology. She used to teach science in high schools in Sydney, Australia. She loves teaching and watching children, teenagers and adults learn to love learning, be it Chemistry, English literature, or the logic of Paul in his epistles. She has served as a licensed lay Reader in St Michael’s Paris, Holy Trinity Geneva and now at La Côte. Meditating and mulling while working in the garden, and while preparing meals for family and friends provides her much contentment.
