Hello Wikipedia, Wikipedians and by extension -- the world! I'm a freelance journalist/writer with a background in print journalism, marketing writing, and government communications. So why am I here?

Well, for a couple of reasons.

One is to advance my career and increase my written web presence. The second is this: Two years ago a graduate school professor of mine on Internet research praised Wikipedia, but said the following: "Wikipedia is a great place to begin your research, not end it." Her point: Wikipedia has great potential, but embedded inaccuracies can undermine its reliability. Thus, sourcing Wikipedia in news stories was a no-no.

Wikipedia continues to be my one-stop-shop for universal knowledge and the essential starting point for any research on any topic. But after relying on its desktop and mobile power for years, I figured why not offer my professional skills in return for Wikipedia's years of researching assistance, both professional and personal?

Quality articles, well written and well sourced, will add to Wikipedia's power and prowess. I'm eager to get started!
