My pronouns are she/her.

I'm a librarian who lives in Vermont. There is a Wikipedia page about me if you'd like to know more. Feel free to email me. I used to be a member of the Wikimedia Foundation advisory board back when that was a thing and before the whole page was memory-holed. (archived). I am currently Community Manager for the Flickr Foundation.

I am trying to help Wikipedia adjust its unequal treatment of female Wikipedians and Wikipedia articles about women. Want to read about the problem? This paper is a good start: Ms. Categorized: Gender, notability, and inequality on Wikipedia.
