About Me — Wendy Scott
A mix of Brit & Kiwi, leadership & dating, sci-fi & pets
Hi Everyone! My name is Wendy, and I started writing on Medium at the end of November 2020.
From Kent to the North Shore
I’m a Brit, from Kent on the south coast of England, and I have been living in New Zealand for the last 23 years. I live in Auckland, which I love, it’s a city but also has the sea. I came here with my Kiwi husband but I am now divorced. After a long stint of dating, which provides plenty of fodder for my writing, I met my partner, who is also a Brit.
Work
I have been working for nearly forty years. That sounds awful and is rather depressing, but it is true. I do Learning & Development which means writing & delivering training courses. Also, Organisational Development, which is running the performance review system, engagement survey, leadership development, and diversity & inclusion.
Redundancy hit in September, so I am having a go at writing full-time on Medium. I have earned $6 US so far! Luckily, I got a redundancy payout. My goal is to publish one article a day plus a short-form article. I am learning masses each day and enjoying myself enormously.
