BBC 100 Women Season. Event Creator. 

I created a global, record-breaking Wikipedia edit-a-thon staged with the BBC. The goal was to redress gender imbalance on the site. We broke the world record for most profiles of women added on a single day. Jimmy Wales, founder of Wikipedia, was in attendance.

Here's an article I wrote about how the day happened.

A brief snapshot of the day with the season editor, myself and Jimmy Wales.

I was interviewed on BBC Open Source to talk about the day. 

The BBC live page recorded and reported the events of the day.

Here are some of the things I’m proud of.

They include—but are not limited to—developing and presenting a mixed-reality series, breaking Wikipedia records, training journalists around the world and telling stories about Cossacks, fishing, Apartheid, sport, Shakespeare, science fiction, deafness, Azeri oil, the world’s oldest passenger ferry, and pagans.
