About me
I joined Wikimedia in 2011 to work on the mobile partnerships program. Before WMF, I lived in South Korea where I worked for Samsung in global strategy, focused on growth of digital media devices and online programs throughout the world. I've also previously worked in online marketing and business development at Match.com, and, prior to that, at a brand marketing agency. I started my career as a PR spokesperson and driver of the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile, traveling the country non-stop for a full year. I'm originally from Dallas, Texas and have a bachelor's degree from the University of Texas as well as an MBA from the University of Pennsylvania.
My work
I work on building and optimizing mobile partnerships in order to expand the reach of Wikimedia projects. With the foundation's mission to "create a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all human knowledge," I get to work on the "every single human being" part of that statement.
