I am a UK based Wiki user who occasionally adds or updates information to Wikipedia.
[edit] Wikipedia Contributions
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.
01/10/06 - I wrote my first proper page, about BBC Correspondent, Reeta Chakrabarti.
[edit] A little about me
I'm female and in my early thirties. 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'm currently studying with the Open University.
I'm engaged to be married in 2008; my fiancé and I have a daughter who was born on 14th February 2006.
I am a software test manager by profession. I am full member of both the British Computer Society (BCS) and the Chartered Management Institute. I have also gained the BCS software testing qualification ISEB Foundation.
