About Me
I am an assistant librarian at the University of Houston Libraries. I obtained my MSLS from the University of North Texas College of Information in 2021. My area of concentration was in Information Organization, specifically metadata and cataloging.

My introduction to editing in the Wikimedia universe was my library school practicum, for which I worked with Archiverlandson on the PCC Wikidata Pilot project.

My undergraduate degree is in Electrical Engineering. Prior to becoming a librarian, my day job for many years was software engineer.

Languages
I am a native AmE speaker. I understand enough written and spoken Latin American Spanish to get the gist of what a paragraph or conversation is about, but I can produce only basic sentences. Likewise, written Latin. I have a smattering of German and Dutch words, enough to read a map and navigate my way around a German- or Dutch-speaking city transit system, but not enough to read or write a whole paragraph. I understand a handful of 19th century Dano-Norwegian words, enough to get genealogical information from a census or church register.
