A bit about me... I live in Melbourne, and I was inspired to become a wikipedia editor when I read an article about WikiProject: Women in Red on 9 March 2024. Now I want to help increase the number of biographies about women on Wikipedia, which is 20.23% as of 28 October 2025

My interests are quite broad, but for the moment I am focussed on women who were around during World War I, and women in medicine during the 19th and 20th Century.
