Who's Alan?

Hello, my name is Alan and indeed I am from Miami, FL.

My background is in graphic design, film & video production, digital marketing, web design, and programming.

I definitely love playing Soccer although my knees have been weak lately from all the years of running Cross-Country

Love my family and strongly believe that selflessness and love would bring solutions to all of humanity's problems, if only it was that easy.

Languages

Native English and Spanish speaker; Originally from Colombia, although also familiar with many other countries' slang terms and idioms. Also a big fan of Italian and Portuguese, but not enough to contribute yet.

Disclosures

  • Worked as the Social Media & Web Coordinator for ASA College (Miami Campus) from 2014 to 2016.
  • These were some of the things I worked on:
    • As inspired from Wikipedian in Residence I took some qualities in that role to help my organization better understand Wikipedia and the best practices as to how to facilitate the improvement of content by the Wikipedia Community from a Neutral point of view. Also by minimizing the impact of any Conflict of Interest when improving articles or working with the Wikipedia community in order to do so. All updates I made during this time, I did with complete transparency meeting all guidelines possible.
    • Also kept their Social Media profiles updated such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Others.
    • Really enjoyed working on some Graphic Design Projects, I was able to design many fun things as simple as postcards but also as big as Bus Wraps.
    • Managed the upkeep of a previous iteration of the website.
  • I definitely still consider myself a newbie. Have been wanted to contribute for years, but finally created my account November 11th, 2014
  • Have always loved and respected what Wikipedia stands for. Glad to be part of this team and contribute according the spirit of what Wikipedia represents.

Randomness

  • Wikipedia's internal linking is what keeps me hours "enriching my mind" *sigh, I suppose it's better than when I was addicted to StumbleUpon
  • The following badges are the only thing that make my profile look cool, so I'm proud of them... Don't judge me:
