	About Me

Hello everybody! My name is Mikey and I am the writer of Etan Iljor. I have been a member of UFOP: StarBase 118 for the past eight years. In that time I have also played Theo Whittaker and Arlo Thornton. As Whittaker, I was the Commanding Officer of the USS Columbia for eighteen months (or thereabouts). I have simmed aboard the aforementioned Columbia as well as StarBase 118 Ops, Andaris Task Force, USS Gorkon, USS Resolution and USS Excalibur-A. I was the winner of the 2398 Trivia Chat Contest and one of the question masters for the 2399 contest.

I have been a Star Trek fan since I was 8 years old. My favourite series has fluctuated over time but right now, I would probably say that Deep Space 9 and then Discovery are the one's that I return to the most. The Undiscovered Country is without a doubt my favourite of the Trek movies; Kira and Emperor Georgiou are my favourite canon characters. I also avidly read Star Trek novels in my spare time.

When I am not living my Star Trek fantasy, I am a Marketing Copywriter for a major luxury fashion brand and I also review high-fashion collections for an independent fashion magazine and digital outlet. I have a BA (Hons) in International Fashion Business and I recently completed a post-graduate Masters Degree in Fashion Communications. My favourite designer is the late Dame Vivienne Westwood. Outside of work, I am a passionate fan of pop music, RuPaul's Drag Race and Pokémon.

Five years ago I was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, although I now identify as autistic. I am a passionate advocator of autism as a difference (as opposed to a disability).

I currently live in England with my fiancé of six years.
