Jan trained with CPT in January 2005. She initially joined as a part-time CPTer, but changed to full time in July 2006. She spent six weeks in Baghdad with CPT in summer 2005, and three months in the Kurdish north of Iraq at the end of 2006. She has been a member of CPT's Hebron team since December 2006.

Jan lives in Scotland (when she is not in Hebron) but is prepared to travel anywhere in the UK (or beyond!) if travel expenses can be covered.
