Hey there. I'm a writer by trade, in various categories, especially theatre, poetry, games. Also an activist and advocate of best practice in my fields, and as a feminist.
I'm an experienced professional stage and event manager. I have a postgraduate degree in writing for theatre, and have designed and led full HE courses accredited by notable universities. My career, and academic study, have given me a measure of expertise in the abstract notion of collaborative creativity and work made by collective.
I love specificity, and accuracy, and inclusivity, and lists, and understanding, and grammar. I have a tendency to be a Collector, which I try to counter by being a Gatherer. Other stuff to which I feel connected is in my Userboxes. These are all things that will likely influence my contributions to Wikipedia.
Here is my Wikipedia To Do List of places you can or will find me. (Please do edit this to point me at useful references that connect to these things, to help me avoid redoing work that has already been achieved.) I'm sometimes in one of the IRC channels, especially gender-gap.
