I graduated from the University of New Hampshire in 2011 with a BA in history and a focus on the history of technology. Now, I am currently a Masters student at the Human-Computer Interaction Institute at Carnegie Mellon, and am currently enrolled in Professor Robert Kraut's Social Web course, for which I will be exploring Wikipedia from the perspective of a contributor. I am particularly interested in how technology influences peoples' lives, especially the way they interact with others. Part of this interest stems from my experience teaching senior citizens how to use computers, and witnessing the struggles which they encountered during this process. Having spent an extensive portion of my undergraduate career reading and writing for history courses, I am very excited to be able to apply this knowledge to my work on Wikipedia.
