I am a professional copywriter and creative writer from Chicago, Illinois. I am in the process of completing my B.A. in English literature and Drama, and expect to complete a teacher's certification in secondary education shortly afterward.

To date, I have been published in two college journals. In my free time, I can be found writing for publication and competitions, teaching my dog new tricks, tweeting with my writing friends, drinking tea and playing video games, Googling myself, or talking in an English accent when I think no one can hear. I am a self-proclaimed Anglophile.

You can primarily find me at WikiEducator.org or on my website.

Some of my contributions to MediaWiki projects include building my own MW site, as well as:
 * WoWWiki
 * Wikia's education wiki
 * WikiEducator

Web design and applications programming is a hobby as well as a way for me to contribute to the open source and education communities. I learned PHP from studying MediaWiki. At the moment, I specialise in skinning; I designed the skin for my own site, which is linked above. I hope you'll get to see it available to the public, soon.
