About me

Gender Female
Industry Technology
Occupation Technical Editor
Location Scotland, United Kingdom
Introduction I came to Scotland for a hill-walking holiday in 2004 and was so impressed by the magnificent landscapes, hospitality and general friendliness that I decided the country was for me. (I'm originally from Norfolk, UK) I was lucky enough to get a suitable IT post in central Scotland quite quickly, and have been here since April 2005. Technical editing is essentially turning the m.s that the technical staff (boffins) give me into readable English . . and then convincing them that my English is better than theirs! And no, I'm not related to Hayley, as far as I know.
