I'm Hillary Lipko, my online alias is LaMenta3. I graduated from Georgia Tech in 2008 and again in 2010 with a bachelors and a masters (respectively) in Public Policy. I currently work as a public relations consultant (but I'm looking for a gig a little more directly in my field).
The main focus of my studies and academic research mostly involved the interplay among public policy, law and technology, particularly as it pertains to computing and privacy issues such as intellectual property, information security and questions of jurisdiction on the internet. My graduate capstone explored the concept of using computer algorithms to draw Congressional districts and applied the idea using Utah as a case study.
My areas of interest and editing on Wikipedia, however, typically have little to do with my research. I'm pretty much an omnivorous editor—I'll work on pretty much anything that even slightly piques my interest or seems like I could easily improve. A large portion of my significant contributions have come from AfDs which are (improperly) nominated for surmountable problems such as style and sourcing. Many of my edits are also related to my alma mater, as I'm an active contributor to Wikiproject Georgia Tech. I occasionally abuse the Random Article button to waste time when I should be doing something else (you know, like actual work or something). All that said, my contributions aren't always wholly reflective of my personal interests, activities, endorsements, etc. A lot of the time, I just edit where I feel I'm "needed."
Speaking of my interests, I like photography, blogging, my Betta fish, going to conventions, cosplay, and volunteering with FIRST LEGO League. My photography hobby occasionally carries over into my Wikipedia habit, and you can see several of my photographic contributions below. Also, since I upload most of my photos to Flickr under a Creative Commons license, I occasionally come across images of mine uploaded by others. That's pretty cool.
