I am [http://karendaniels.com Karen Daniels], or KarenWrite on Wikipedia. I'm new to Wikipedia and started playing around here as an editing sport during the great Covid 19 pandemic of 2020 (July 8 to be exact). I mean why not, right?
Though relatively new to Wikipedia, I’m a California-based author, freelance writer, ghostwriter and editor of more than 2 decades. My freelance writing brings with it the opportunity to deep dive and learn an amazing array of topics in order to be able to write as a professional in those fields. This always-be-learning-awesome-job has led me to become well-versed in many areas such as:
- Psychology: Happiness
- Creativity
- Hypercreativity
- Giftedness
- Parenting Gifted Children
- Gifted Education
- Karate
- Technology rentals
- Self-publishing
- Crowdfunding
- Mortgages
- Day trading
- Data acquisition/Crash dummies
- Shock absorber kits
{{paid|employer=DTS|userbox=yes|article=Draft:Diversified_Technical_Systems}} Because I learn a lot about many different industries and client businesses I contribute when and where I can and 99% of the time I do this for fun. Currently this client asked me to edit their page so I am disclosing that here.
Let’s pause on…
Educational Psychology, specifically Gifted Education,
and talk about this one for a moment. I have my M.A. in Educational Psychology/Gifted Education and am former editor for the California Gifted Association and have been featured speaker at conferences on creativity and parenting gifted children. So I have a fair amount of expertise in this particular area. If you know of any pages or spots that could use help in this area I would love to help.
===== Martial Arts =====
In addition to my writing gigs I am a 3rd degree black belt in both empty hand karate (Shorin Ryu) and Matayoshi Kobudo (Under Tadashi Hanshi Yamashita). I teach, train, and study martial arts and love to geek out on it.
As a professional writer I use Wikipedia all the time – for research and fun, and I love the idea of free global resources from which we can all benefit. .
So far, I’ve mainly done:
:*Copyediting
:*Fixing spelling and grammar errors
:*Adding information on pages I know something about
Please alert me to any blunders or mistakes, thanks!
