Hello, I am a new wikipedian as of 2015 that was drawn to editing through the [[Wikipedia:Meetup/ArtAndFeminism|ArtAndFeminism]] movement. I enjoy helping Wikipedia expand upon its coverage of women by helping edit articles on related topics and helping organize edit-a-thons and working meet ups. Currently, I mostly edit Wikipedia while at art and feminism events, but i hope to get more involved with regularity in the future. |

Hello, I am a new wikipedian as of 2015 that was drawn to editing through the ArtAndFeminism movement. I enjoy helping Wikipedia expand upon its coverage of women by helping edit articles on related topics and helping organize edit-a-thons and working meet ups. Currently, I mostly edit Wikipedia while at art and feminism events, but i hope to get more involved with regularity in the future.
I like how Wikipedia is in many ways a "People's Encyclopedia" in how it is created directly by people who contribute content in a democratic fashion. This is largely because I am drawn to horizontal and democratically organized projects that give people an opportunity to share power and learn how to work with one another.
I have a background of working in academic and public libraries, and my personal interests are in feminisms, spirituality, egalitarianism, activism, and the relationship between culture and media. I also create zines and am involved in my city's zine community, from conference organizing to working with archives and preserving zine creations.
