Hello! I am new to Wikipedia editing and welcome any advice and tips on the process.

I am a healthcare administrator in the Center for Women's Health at the Oregon Health and Science University. One of my goals is to help (and encourage others!) to improve information available on women's health topics in Wikipedia. I learned about the WikiProject Medicine group through a colleague of mine whom I respect and with whom I enjoy working! I am inspired by the efforts to improve the quality of existing health articles, and think it's a great effort to collaborate to improve these resources. This is the place where so many people around the world are looking for health information. Let's make it as smart and reliable as we can - one edit at a time. I am working with the Center for Women's Health at OHSU to build support for the project.

I have a varied background - a liberal arts degree from Colgate University, and a master's degree in Public Administration with a focus on non-profit management from the University of North Carolina -Chapel Hill. I've been a middle school special education teacher, a paralegal, a clinic manager and now the Operations Director for the Center for Women's Health. I am a mom of 2 boys. I love to read and exercise, eat good food, and dream of travelling more again as my children grow.

Please say hi if you can help me improve my editing skills! I am excited to join the Wikipedia community.
