children, she grew up on a potato and dairy farm, nestled in the shadows of an ancient volcano,
called Tower Hill, in south-west Victoria.
She was named Regina, in the Latin tradition, after the queen of heaven, and Brigid, after the patron saint of their local church, St Brigid's, in Crossley, where she attended mass every Sunday as a child.
She began her professional life as a social-justice worker, firstly for the Brigidine Sisters and
then the Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne, advocating on rights for refugees, reconciliation
with Indigenous Australia, and anti-global-poverty campaigns, among other issues. She pursued her passion for social justice in the UK, working on the Make Poverty History campaign for CAFOD (the Catholic Agency for Overseas Development), the United Nations in New York and GetUp in Sydney, the Australian Conservation Foundation in Melbourne in 2010, before becoming a fulltime publisher at Garratt Publisher in 2014.
Saving St Brigid's is her first book.view less
