WikiConference North America, 2016

I have been a daily contributor to Wikipedia for sixteen years, and have become familiar with the processes and guidelines established by the Wikipedia community. To satisfy my insatiable curiosity, I am constantly researching a wide variety of topics, including: current events, landmarks and monuments, local history, music, politics, and public art.

I support Wikimedia Foundation projects and the open knowledge/free culture movement in general, and I am always looking for ways to help individuals and organizations collaborate with Wikipedia in mutually beneficial ways. An experienced researcher, writer, and editor able to navigate the Wikipedia community, I can promote articles to quality status, create and coordinate WikiProjects, organize in-person meetups, and provide training to new Wikipedians.

In May 2013, my Wikipedia work was featured in The Oregonian.[1] The feature was then covered by The Signpost, Wikipedia's community-written and community-edited newspaper (see "In the media"). I've had the pleasure of attending and co-organizing many local meetups. I've attended Wikimania three times, the Wikimedia Conference twice, and all eight in-person WikiConference North America (formerly WikiConference USA) events. I've served on related committees, as well as the Wikimedia Diversity Conference's Program Committee. I received the Notability Award "for contributions to notable topics in greater Boston" at WikiConference North America 2019, presented in the form of a 3D-printed barnstar!

In the beginning...

I registered a Wikipedia account on November 25, 2007, having made previous edits anonymously. I became a daily contributor quickly, initially focusing my efforts on articles related to music and Oregon. In 2010, I participated in a "Screen Sprint" at the Wikimedia Foundation offices in San Francisco, having received an invitation based on my experience creating content and constructing and managing WikiProjects. Event attendees were tasked with establishing WikiProject Screencast and producing 7–10 short instructional screencasts as part of the Bookshelf Project, the Foundation's collection of informational materials to present to new contributors. This was my first Wikipedia meetup. In January 2011, I attended my first local in-person meetup, the Wikipedia 10 celebration in Portland, Oregon. I've been hooked ever since...
