Evy would say her top highlights were travelling with her family as a child and then with her husband and their kids as they were growing up. Other favourite times were when she trained to be a nurse in the 80s and when she studied recently for her master’s in peacebuilding and collaborative development. Evy loves creative writing and has recently published a children’s book called ghosts don’t have bodies, which celebrates the privilege of having a body. She is very grateful for her husband, Steve, her kids and their partners, and her grandkids, who have so much to teach her about life.
