I’ll start with the controversial pizza question… yes, I do like pineapple on pizza. *ducks to dodge the rotten tomatoesMATOMO_URL
When I’m not at work, I can usually be found dancing, sewing or reading. I enjoy the dancing they did around 1800 (in the time of Jane Austen) and this means I also get to dress up, which you can see on my profile picture above.
To the endless annoyance of (some of) my friends, I can normally think of a quote or song relevant to the conversation, usually from some not-very-well-known show from the 80s or thereabouts.
Programme’s I’m watching at the moment are Star Trek: Picard, Doctor Who and The Lost World.
My pronouns are she/her.

That means that I have to make sure we stick to the laws that tell us what we can and can’t use in the products we make. These are made to protect people and nature.
I’m also trying to write being better for the environment into the ‘handbook’ of the company. Next to that I work with my colleagues to find ways to use less material, make sure less of our waste ends up on rubbish heaps, save energy and things like that. That also includes measuring and tracking what we do now, so we can see if we are doing well!
