I live and work in southern California. I am a novice editor struggling to learn the digital world of Wikipedia.

I am interested in contributing to the improvement of Wikipedia articles about

important 21st c. American novels, novellas, and short stories.

Venues for my postsecondary study are: St. Mary's College, Xavier, Kansas; The University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas, The George Washington University, Washington, D. C.; The University of Rhode Island, Kingston, Rhode Island; The State University of New York, Albany, New York; and the University of California Los Angeles.

I have lived abroad for more than a year in Stuttgart, Germany; Cartagena, Colombia; and Bogotá, Colombia.

Travel outside the United States:
 * All of Western Europe except Norway and Sweden
 * Eastern Europe: The Check Republic and Slovakia
 * Africa: Morocco
 * Central America: Panama,Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador,  Guatemala
 * South America: Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Peru.
 * The Azores
 * The Greater Antilles: Puerto Rico and Jamaica
 * North America: Canada and Mexico

Travel in the United States:
 * All fifty states except North Dakota and Oklahoma

I speak Spanish, some French, some German, and some Portuguese

I think Wikipedia is a transformative innovation in the transfer of information and knowledge in the digital age.

I have served as a consultant for the University of California: Irvine and San Diego Campuses, the University of Idaho, and The New University of the Azores.
