At eight years old, God placed in Anne’s heart a passion for Bible translation when a Wycliffe member spoke about her translation work in PNG at Anne’s Sunday school. On her journey towards translation, Anne studied linguistics and ESL teaching at university. She then worked in Sydney as an English teacher to international students before studying at the Sydney Missionary and Bible College in Sydney. She recently completed her training with SILA at Kangaroo Ground.

In 2017 and 2022, Anne had the opportunity to visit Bible translators in Australia. After those experiences, she was struck by the need for Bible translation in our backyard. Anne is planning to work alongside Australian indigenous people to translate the Bible into their languages in Northern Australia. She is continuing her partnership development to begin her assignment later in 2025.
