I am a UK based Wiki user who occasionally adds or updates information to Wikipedia.

Not a huge amount so far, but a little on North London Collegiate School, defunct punk band The Faders, a couple of redirects for TMM and Software test, fixing a broken link on Oxford Street (or or might have been Regent Street) and a few hopefully constructive comments on Steve Irwin. I also added a little bit on the reporters on BBC Breakfast News. 25/10/07 - Updated Chris Hughton page after his sacking from Tottenham.

01/10/06 - I wrote my first proper page, about BBC Correspondent, Reeta Chakrabarti.

I'm female. I was born and grew up in a leafy suburb of North London, but now live in a small town aproximately 30 miles north of London.

I was educated at North London Collegiate School, University of the West of England in Bristol and I've also completed study with the Open University.

I was married in July 2008; my husband and I have two teenagers.

I was originally a software test manager by profession. I am now a Production (post go-live) Service Manager for onboarding ITIL functions. I am full member of both the British Computer Society (BCS) and the Chartered Management Institute (CMI). I have also gained the BCS ISEB Foundation and Practitioner software testing qualifications. I am also a certified ITIL "Expert".
