I live in the Yorkshire Dales National Park with my husband and 11 year old son. I am both an avid baker and Minecraft player! I am very passionate at volunteering including international work for the IEEE and more locally for the Hour of Code. I also develop scratch programming courses in rural primary Schools that are often forgotten. I am addicted to volcanoes and have spent many happy trips hiking in the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Finally, I am proud to say, that I am one of the few individuals to hold a Disney Spirit Award... How? Why? you may ask? Well that’s another story!
