Accessibility is a core principle when creating software. My digital community values diversity, collaboration, openness and reflection. Its developers build relevant, satisfying software that's easy for everyone to use.

To show my support for an open web for everyone, I signed the World Wide Web Foundation'sContract for the Web.

I'm aGreen Software practitioner and aGreen Software Foundation community member. Working towards best practises for people, standards, and tooling, when building software.

I abide by the principles stated in theManifesto for Responsible Software Development.

I volunteer for theBumblebee Conservation Trust as a Bee Walker. The Trust coordinates a citizen science project where non-scientists (like me!) collect data on bee species numbers throughout the UK. Taking part gives me the opportunity to explore the wildlife where I live.

Before I became a developer, I had a decade-long career in STEM publishing. I worked as an operations team lead, and a project coordinator for print and digital products. I have also taught dance, performing in London and New York.
