With a sister who was a nurse and a brother who became a Catholic priest, she was inspired by their dedication and sought to follow in their footsteps.
“My family’s commitment to service and faith showed me the path I wanted to take,” she recalls.
In 2003, Sr Annabel was accepted into the Missionary of the Sacred Heart, a missionary congregation in the Catholic Church.
In 2013, she applied to St Mary’s School of Nursing and obtained a Diploma in General Nursing and served at the St Mary’s Vunapope Hospital.
