Hello, Prof. Mel and fellow Wikipedians! I am not entirely comfortable posting any personal information just yet so I'll begin with saying I hope this satisfies the requirements of the assignment. My interests within Wikipedia at this time are searching. I often use Wikipedia for basic information before beginning a more extensive study.

Current place of residence: Fairview Heights, Illinois

I say current place of residence rather than hometown. I find that frequent moves during childhood has led to difficulty answering the question, "Where are you from?", a common stumper for military brats. Military brat (U.S. subculture) With that said, traveling is still a love of mine. Some of my more recent and memorable trips are noted at Michele's Travels.
