I'll be working to promote the foundation, exploring potential contacts, arranging events and supporting the OpenBiblio project/s; I'll also be busying away in the background on the admin side to keep things ticking along smoothly. For now I'm asking lots of questions, but hoping that soon I'll be the one offering to help if you need a hand with anything.

I am excited about this role as it's for a great cause and seems to marry the odd combination of skills that I love: ticking off lists in a methodical manner and communicating with flair though creative writing.

The exception to my frivolous approach is volunteering with Christians Against Poverty to support people struggling with debt and financial hardship.

I've had a really warm welcome to the team and am very much looking forward to meeting you all in person!
