Hi all! I joined Wikipedia as an editor in August 2023. I am currently an undergraduate student in the United States, studying Business Administration, People Management, and Public Policy Leadership. I consider editing Wikipedia to be a hobby of mine, and I like doing it. I plan to go on to a masters program in Management after my undergraduate work.

I consider myself to be an academic, writing papers and sparking discussion about different topics in my undergrad work. By consequence of this, I have supported Wikipedia for years and enjoy learning about different topics through the platform. I rely on Wikipedia to learn about new topics and use it to get a basis for some of my research (but do not directly cite it as a source, obviously).

On Wikipedia, I edit articles that I come across with missing/incorrect information and correct those mistakes. I aim to make Extended-confirmed status and become an established editor.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST NOTICE: On June 23, 2025, I was asked by my Summer 2025 internship site to edit and publish a Wikipedia article about their organization, Open Gov Hub. At the time, I was not fully aware of Wikipedia’s policies on conflicts of interest (WP:COI) and paid editing (WP:PAID), and I began making edits in good faith. After reviewing these policies more thoroughly — along with related guidance (WP:INTERN being one of them) — I have ceased all editing related to the article as of July 2, 2025 and informed my supervisors that I am not comfortable continuing any work on it. I’ve also directed them to the Articles for Creation (WP:AfC) process should they wish to pursue the article through appropriate channels. Please feel free to reach out via my User talk page with any questions.

See below for the rest of my COIs.
