User:Octavosaurus

My name is Jo. I'm an archivist, librarian and educator working for University College London (UCL). Alongside being a Wikipedian for fun, I am an accredited trainer for Wikimedia UK (since December 2023) and frequently run training sessions for anyone who's interested. I am starting to play with Wikidata; my userpage, including links to items I've made, can be found here.

I live in Kent but spent ten years residing in Brighton and am originally from Oxfordshire.

My pronouns are she/they.

I like:


 * dinosaurs
 * stars
 * everything colourful
 * cycling

I started editing Wikipedia in 2022 after using it for many years.
