Sharon Cook - Accounts Receivable Officer (start date 27/10)

I am 58 years old, I have two adult children both in their 30’s who ![sharon cook-1-1](https://blog.newcastleanglican.org.au/hs-fs/hubfs/sharon%20cook-1-1.jpeg?width=233&height=310&name=sharon%20cook-1-1.jpeg)both live and work overseas.

I enjoy catching up with friends and family on weekends.

I love cooking, reading, walking.

I enjoy living on the sunny Central Coast.

**Ella Mayo – Wellbeing Business Partner (start date 3/11)**

**![Ella Mayo - newstarter](https://blog.newcastleanglican.org.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Ella%20Mayo%20-%20newstarter.jpg?width=293&height=349&name=Ella%20Mayo%20-%20newstarter.jpg)**

I am an Occupational Therapist with experience working in forensic psychiatry in Melbourne, supporting people with complex mental health needs.

During this time, I coordinated the Allied Health Graduate Program, fostering the growth and development of early career clinicians.

Since relocating back to my hometown of Newcastle, I have expanded my practice into the NDIS, and lifestyle medicine.

I am a passionate advocate for mental health and wellbeing, and I believe in the power of connection, open conversations, and proactive self-care in creating meaningful and lasting change.

I also place strong importance on balance, between our roles, environments, and daily routines, recognising that maintaining work–life balance is essential to support both personal and professional wellbeing.

**Kym Earnshaw – Director Risk & Compliance (start date 10/11)![danielle](https://blog.newcastleanglican.org.au/hs-fs/hubfs/danielle.jpg?width=285&height=403&name=danielle.jpg)**

I’m a risk nerd who has worked in a variety of organisations, from state governments to listed companies, to utilities.

I’m very much looking forward to getting to know another organisation and its people.

On a personal level, I’m a book worm, who gets through a novel per fortnight.

I also love to run, ski and travel.

You’ll never find me with excess leave!
