Thanks Elpha for this and Tori for opening the group.Been in UX and Design for 10+ years, I’m not sure if I’m transitioning out of tech yet, but finding the elusive great remote job might change my mind.I’ve lived in many parts of London - HA, NW, EC, E1W, SW now I’m based in Catford with my husband. It’s so crazy how each part seems like a different city but the church we go is central, handy. These days you’d find me attending bible studies ( in Brockley and St Helens bishopsgate)Dogsitting (met so many awesome dogs and families through BorrowmyDoggy)Childminding (on Nanny training now with KoruKids)Acquiring more houseplants for my house ( spiderplants are my plant bff) and booksTrying new things in the KitchenLooking forward to seeing what this community brings and how I can contribute!

Thanks Tori for starting this community and it's nice to get to know all of you! 😄I live in Watford and work remotely as a frontend developer. I also recently started Tech Sisters, a newsletter to support and encourage Muslim women in tech. When I'm not working, I'm busy raising my 2 kids. One of my favourite things to do is drag them around to different national trust places and get some screen-free time. I'm really looking forward to learning more about you and see how I can help out!
