About me
Hi and thanks for stopping by to learn a little more about the person behind the name.

I am passionate about encouraging girls and women in STEM having studied science at school and university, following which my career expanded into technology.

I am looking to build my confidence and skills in editing Wikipedia so that I can contribute to the work that many people are doing, to ensure that no matter our gender, credible research and information in the areas of STEM are accessible here.



What is currently concerning me
As a parent of a teen that has not been able to attend university this year due to the way that Ofqual have managed the cancelling of exams due to Coronavirus-19, I am extremely concerned about the impact the recent decisions will have on the future and the mental health of a generation of young people. I believe some fundamental issues have not been fully considered, such as how Autumn exams will work for students who have had no education since March and who will not be returning to school until a month before the exams,and why this could not have been an exam series that could have been taken in January 2021.

How I like to spend my time
Researching and new recipes, exploring new restaurants, travelling the world.
