- Profile

Ey up!
If you look closely, you will find me in the dimly lit corner of the History reception—dim light is my own choice—likely enjoying a snack. I've been part of the History PS team since October 2020, having previously worked in customer service, sales, and commercial printing, dabbling in both artwork and machinery.
I'm a big fan of lying down, cats, hats, cats in hats, and keeping a spreadsheet of all the films and TV shows I've watched throughout the year.
