Muriel is originally from Côte d’Ivoire, in West Africa.

She studied theology at Heythrop College, University of London — a Jesuit-led theological and philosophical college — where she obtained a BA (Hons) in Theology and a Master’s in Canon Law.

Muriel’s professional ministry in the Church has been rooted in parish life by design, because it is where the people of God gather.

For over twenty years, she has carried pastoral responsibility for the development of faith, moral conscience, and spiritual life, while providing support to priests in their ministry.

She teaches the Catholic faith, Sacred Scripture, and the knowledge of God, accompanying people in the human, emotional, relational, and spiritual realities of their lives.

Alongside parish ministry, she has worked with Caritas as a Business Programme Manager, supporting the development and growth of start-ups with a social impact.

She has designed and delivered formation that enabled individuals to build viable businesses and strengthen existing ones.

This work has allowed her to live the lay apostolate directly within the world of business and economics.

She has over twenty years’ experience coaching people at different stages of life.

Her coaching focuses on personal formation (including faith accompaniment), essential life skills, and relationships, marriage, and family life.

Muriel’s practice is grounded in extensive experience and supported by accredited professional training, supervision, and assessment. She is a Senior Member of a recognised professional body.
