Welcome
Hello! I'm a graduate student and Wikipedia Campus Ambassador at Georgetown University's Communication, Culture & Technology (CCT) Master of Arts program. I'm particularly interested in the ways in which WIki accessibility directly affects literacy, agency, and social inclusion.

Why Wikipedia?
In the fall I will be working at CNDLS (Center for New Designs in Learning and Scholarship) at Georgetown University. At CNDLS I will be working with students and faculty on the Georgetown Commons, a platform for faculty and students to discover and connect with scholars, tools for coursework and research, and stories of the best practices in teach in learning. As a Wikipedia Campus Ambassador I hope to apply the skills and conversations involved with the Digital Commons to the production of Wikipedia sources in order to expand the topics listed on Wikipedia and encourage creative forms of learning and scholarship on the web.
