About Me
I am a third year student at Rice University in Houston, TX, studying Sociocultural Anthropology and Social Policy Analysis with a minor in Poverty, Justice, and Human Capabilities. I am passionate about media as a tool for collective knowledge and community empowerment. I am currently taking PJHC 394.

Fall 2022 Project: Police brutality against Indigenous Canadians
Last fall, I created a new Wikipedia page summarizing and to serve as a parent page for incidents and patterns of police brutality against Indigenous Canadians. Police brutality against Indigenous Canadians has, since my creating it, been added to the following categories: "Violence against Indigenous people in Canada" and "Law enforcement controversies." Other Wikipedians have added the article to the following WikiProjects: Indigenous peoples of North America (Rated start-class, High-importance), Canada (Rated start-class, High-importance), Death (Rated start-class, Mid-importance), and Law Enforcement (Rated start-class, Mid-importance). A user has also applied the template "Discrimination against Indigenous peoples in Canada."

Spring 2023 Project: Harm reduction in the U.S.
I am planning to create a Wikipedia article focusing on harm reduction in the U.S., which will be a child page to Harm reduction. Both sociocultural elements and political/legal aspects will be greatly important to this article. I've listed some references that I will use as a jumping-off point below, but please leave a comment if you have any suggestions.
