Our New Administrator

Dear friends,

My name is Irish Sirmons and I am the new Armonia UK Trust Administrator!
Although I was born in the U.S., I currently live in the ‘wilds’ of Essex, England with my husband, Ryan.  We have lived in the UK for almost five years and in Europe for nearly seven.  Along the way, we picked up our little dog Charles in Naples, Italy, I graduated from University College London with an MSc in Information Sciences, and Ryan has been assigned to the Little Baddow United Reformed Church as a Pastor on Student Placement! Throughout our travels we have encountered many faith groups and families which we hold in our hearts and prayers (without whom we would not be enjoying our current livelihood).  
Though my work background is in information management and information technology, I’ve been accepted by the University of Essex to study an MA in Wild Writing.  This amazing course will allow me to study literature and the environment whilst (hopefully) improving my creative writing skills.
I am an active member of the City of Portsmouth Women’s Athletic Club.  I throw the hammer, shot put and discus for the team as we compete in the Southern Athletic League and UK Women’s Athletic League Division 2.

I am very excited to work with Armonia (UK) Trust. As soon as I met Eidi and Saul in London for my second interview, I knew that I wanted to join the Armonia family. Ryan and I want to live our ministry as Saul and Pilar have done over the past thirty years.

Please let me know if you need any information pertaining to Armonia UK.  I will be managing our website, the UK contact list, mailings, schedules and donations.

All the Best,
Irish
