About me
I joined the Wikimedia Foundation in August of 2022, after feeling the strong connection with the mission and aspirations of Wikimedia projects and the Foundation. During my interviews, I heard each person share their reasons for joining this movement and their hopes for its future, often in the form of very challenging questions. Wikipedia is the promise of collaboration on the internet and the movement for free knowledge made good on, in practice not in theory. I believe that Wikimedia projects have successfully demonstrated a model that produces trustworthy knowledge, and have created a home on the internet that the world profoundly trusts. I want to help make and ship things to advance free knowledge using the skills I have, while also continuing to learn from this ever expanding community of people all around the world.
