Who am I? 

Future Plans 

My aim is to succeed in life and ultimately to be "an interesting and interested person" as a teacher of mine once said.

Background Information 

I was born in London but grew up in the Naseby, Northamptonshire, which is famous for the civil war battle which took place there in 1645. Find out more about the village of Naseby.
I studied for my A Levels at Bromsgrove School in Worcestershire. The Bromsgrovian Club now have a web site as well.
I studied for my first degree at Manchester University. I successfully graduated with a BA Hons in History and French in 1998. I was in hall at Dalton-Ellis. The best thing about Manchester was...Club Tropicana!
During the third year of my course, I was an Erasmus student in Liege, Belgium. Here I got to eat lots of chocolate and mussels and chips!
After graduating in June 1998, I spent a year working as a Graduate Trainee Librarian at the University of East London
Between 1999 and 2000 I studied for a Masters in Information Systems and Technology at City University in London. The course included options on Networks and Communcitions, Databases, Human Interface Design, Information and Knowledge Management, Information Policy and Systems Analysis and Design. My final dissertation was on the issue of Web Personalisation.
Following my Masters course I spent six months on an internship at Universite Laval in Quebec, Canada. I was involved in the start of a project to implement a new computer library management system which will be exacting work. People ask me why I have decided to come to Quebec and there are in fact various reasons, the main ones being that I have the opportunity to speak French, I wanted to gain some extra experience and wanted to see and truely live in another part of the world.
