Josie was drawn to the ANSD by two things—its inclusivity and its broad ecumenism.

Josie graduated in Spiritual Direction from the ACU Canberra and joined the ACT group, then transferred to the Victorian group when she moved to regional Victoria. Most of her spiritual accompanying these days is what she calls the “cup of tea” variety—listening to anyone, anywhere, who needs someone to listen.

Josie has strong and deep connections to the local Victorian membership, and like John Stewart, am happy to call them “my mob.” This affection has led her to accept the role of convenor for the region. Much has changed right across the network since COVID-19, and the way ahead is full of challenges. Josie is confident that together we can chart the way for 2024 and beyond.ia Facetime, is a member of ANSD and has attended conferences, pilgrimages and retreats, over many years.

About ANSD’s Victoria Region

Angela Hoskins

Built my first site in 2000 and steadily learned what it takes to make websites work. Dabbled in WordPress back then, still do. Since building my first Squarespace site in 2016, I’ve been impressed with the relatively streamlined approach to website design and development that Squarespace offers compared to WordPress. SEO was a major challenge from the start — I’ve spent a lot of time keeping up with what’s required to get sites working, ranking well on a SERP. I have confidence with what Squarespace offers for SEO.

Having worked for more than 10 years in the web team of an inland, regional university in Australia and dealing with frustrations that come with working for a large corporate enterprise, the idea of setting up my own web design business became my goal.

Set up my business in late 2017. Opted for a sea change, too: I now live on Coochiemudlo Island 45 minutes from Brisbane. Love working from home. Love working for small business clients. Still get casual work with the university.

Challenges? The main one is pricing my work for small businesses. Doing quality work, doing the research to be up to date in the industry, takes time; it’s hard to factor in this time to my pricing while being competitive in the market and affordable for many small businesses.
