About me

I'm a member of the Wikimedia Foundation Communications team. I'm passionate about sharing the Wikimedia mission to make free knowledge available to all and telling stories about the Wikimedia movement.

I have a background in tech communications, digital media, and storytelling. Before joining the Wikimedia Foundation, I worked as a communications manager at GoodData, a data and analytics start-up in San Francisco. Prior to GoodData I held a number of roles at the Horn Group, a tech communications agency, and contributed to Forbes.com. I have also worked at Forbes Media, where I supported the President and CEO and worked as a market research analyst.

I received my Bachelors of Arts from Wellesley College in Massachusetts, where I graduated with honors and degree in International Relations and French. A love of learning and knowledge has always guided my life, and I feel privileged to serve a community that embodies that sentiment!

My work

As a communications generalist, I wear many different hats in the WMF Communications team. I respond to press inquiries, support and drive special projects, help raise awareness of new WMF-developed products, and more. I see collaboration with community members as a critical part of our storytelling efforts, and I am always looking for new ways to collaborate with the broader movement!

Disclaimer: I work for or provide services to the Wikimedia Foundation, and this is the account I try to use for edits or statements I make in that role. However, the Foundation does not vet all my activity, so edits, statements, or other contributions made by this account may not reflect the views of the Foundation. Although I am a member of the Legal and Community Advocacy team, I am not a lawyer. The legal team can only represent the Wikimedia Foundation on legal matters, so we are unable to give legal advice to others, including community members, editors, or contributors. Communications with members of the legal team are not consultations and do not create any confidential relationship.
