Maggie,
who hails from Sussex in England, started her
working life as a nurse and midwife (trained in
Scotland!). In 1973 she spent two excellent years
at All Nations Christian College and subsequently
went to work in a small rural hospital in the
Sindh, Pakistan with Interserve, at that time
known as BMMF. Her 14 years in Kunri Christian
Hospital certainly developed her administrative
and teaching skills, so that in 1991 Maggie was
invited to join the Interserve international office
team in Cyprus as Director of Services, where
she served for over 11 years until she started
her job in the Interserve Scotland office in 2002.
Maggie enjoys being at home, spending time with
friends, embroidery and sewing – for which
she seems to have little time these days. |
