Who we are

Kristina is a qualified secondary school teacher with over 15 years of leadership and management experience both in the education and voluntary sectors. Growing up on the Isle of Man, she has been a SUMT volunteer in many forms since 1997, serving as a Trustee for 13 of those years. In her spare time, she is also a Pilates instructor and enjoys using dance and movement as worship, especially when it can involve her own children.

As a qualified primary school teacher, Sue is passionate about using creativity and storytelling to engage children and young people both in the context of schools and churches. She joined SUMT in 2018, when she moved to the Isle of Man with her husband. Sue has two dogs and, in any spare time she has, loves to go walking, do jigsaws, read and try her hand at any sort of craft work.

Linda is a qualified teacher with a background in Primary Education. Linda gained her youth work qualification as an intern with SUMT in 2011-13 and returned to join the staff team in 2019. She is the coordinator of our primary RE Curriculum days (Stars and Lifepath) and delivers assemblies and the Walk Through the Bible mini programmes. Linda loves making things and particularly enjoys playing with wool, fabric and paper.

Having been a volunteer for SUMT for a number of years and as a qualified youth worker, in September 2022 Panda became a full-time member of the staff team. She particularly enjoys working with churches across the island to share faith with young people and exploring how to promote wellbeing in schools. In her free time, Panda enjoys having coffee with friends and family, walking her dogs, reading and listening to music.

Hannah has a degree in Creative Therapies and worked in mental health before joining SUMT in 201. Hannah has since trained as a relationship and sex educator and a trauma informed practitioner. She is passionate about providing timely, inclusive and interactive relationship education for young people. Hannah is a wife and mother to three children, who loves coffee, painting, crochet, reading, cooking, walks and too many other things to list.
