I'm an Arboriculturalist, I deal with all things trees. Pruning, removing, planting, and more recently, surveying for design and construction on development sites.

A typical day at the office (while not in the office) :D

I work in Software Testing, which contrary to popular belief isn't playing games all day (I wish!). I also dabble in a bit of 3rd Line Support, because we test the software, it apparently makes us 'experts'. I work with six blokes in total, I'm the only female in the whole IT department, which means I put up with a lot of mickey taking, but don't worry, I give as good as I get and I've been there over five years now, so I must enjoy the constant banter. :wink:

Formerly a Captain in the Royal Irish Regiment, I now work as a Hostile Environments Instructor.

Stopped one in Afghan in 2006, serving with 3 PARA. Had just come back from Baghdad and felt immortal.
