Hello, I am here to contribute to the incredible project that is Wikipedia.

I bring 20+ years of experience as an editor to this project, as well as a familiarity with many different writing styles, including AP, APA, MLA, and Chicago, and now I am about to learn Wikipedia's style so I can write and edit within it.

My background is in journalism, publishing, linguistics, education and PR. I hold a master's degree in English with a specialization in teaching academic writing.

I teach college first-year composition and ESL reading, writing and grammar at the college level. I also perform PR tasks for a technology company and several other local businesses in my community.

It's important that I begin this endeavor by disclosing the professional relationships I have with Humboldt State University, the International English Language Institute (IELI), Carlson Wireless Technologies, Inc. and the McKinleyville Press.

I hope I can offer my energy and expertise to the Wikipedia project.
