A trans woman, engineer, hill-walker and bike-rider. She’s a fan of all things strange and funky - tunes, cheeses, jumpers, places. Sophie also brings the factoids to bog factor, so hold on to your bonnets because she will be telling you something about a peat cutting contraption.
Big on techy bits and DIY, she makes and fixes things. She even designed this beautiful website! We hope you are enjoying it. You can play with the suns on the homepage if you like.
