A Brit, living in New Zealand, I have a scientific editing background. I have interests in all sorts of things, but especially women in science, women in New Zealand, science in New Zealand, and history. From the beginning of 2022, I have been mostly working on the
NZThesisProject .
I was at WikiCon in Hokitika in March 2021, and Auckland in July 2022, and Wellington in March 2023, and Wikimania in Singapore in 2023.
I am a (very) part-time employee of the University of Otago Department of Anatomy, where I edit publications or grant proposals. My paid work does not involve editing Wikimedia. When I am editing Wikipedia, Wikidata or contributing to Wikimedia Commons I always strive to abide by the accepted practices on conflicts of interest, neutrality, and notability of that particular project. I will not make edits that I do not believe are in accordance with that Wikimedia Foundation projects practices and procedures. If you believe I have made an error or violated Wikipedia’s norms, please do not hesitate to contact me through my talk page.
