My name is Shereen, I am a communications major at The University of Ottawa.

Though I have always been interested in creating a Wikipedia account to interact and add to this ever-growing encyclopedia of knowledge I only got around to it recently after being prompted by my Theories of The Media professor in relation to our final assignment.

As a communications student my primary interest pertains to media. The way media is conveyed, the content of the media and the rational behind the piece of work and the impact the work has on society. From analyzing literature, film, and art I find the way media transforms with time intriguing, particularly in relation to the reflections of societal issues found in high content films. I am increasingly fascinated and drawn in by film and am captivated by the way ideas heavy with content and significances are transformed into entrancing stories.

In relation to my first goal on Wikipedia I hope to add information about the country Zambia. Born in Zambia, I have an interest in broadening knowledge about the country. I am often asked questions like “Where is Zambia? Do you live in huts?” which brings my attention to the ignorance pertaining to my country. I went on to notice the lack of verified information on Wikipedia pertaining to Zambia. My recent goal is to broaden the content available to users in hopes of increasing knowledge and interest pertinent to the country.
