{{Veteran Editor}}
Hello and welcome! If you've arrived here, you've probably encountered me in one of the mindless, unglamourous editing tasks that I usually engage in, such as reverting vandalism, checking new articles against the various guidelines for inclusion, adding categories, tagging and assessing articles, providing translations, and participating in various review/feedback processes. I have created a small number of articles, mainly to fill gaps on coverage on a topic I am working on, and I have also made a few focused efforts at large-scale article improvement.
In real life, I'm a student, living in the US state of Connecticut. I have a bachelor's degree in history from Washington University in Saint Louis, a master's degree in the same field from the University of Connecticut, and I'm currently a doctoral student at that same institution.
While I'm now a student, I've previously been (in no particular order) an assistant librarian, a security guard, an art handler, a cutlery salesman, a lifeguard, a reporter, a copyeditor, a museum docent and a bartender. And I have no expertise in any of these areas.
