Hello!

My name is Lucy and I am a postgraduate researcher and administration asssitant at the University of York. I am also a curator at the University of Leeds. My pronouns are she/her. I started editing in February 2019 at an event run by West Yorkshire Queer Stories. My training account is User:Lajmmoore Demo. I mostly edit about women, or museums, but pick up other article ideas that interest me. I am also active on Wikidata (smell-related data, women and coin hoards) and on Commons (sanitary bins and mobile uploads).
