About me
My professional background is in technology and development and I have been working in the nonprofit sector for about five years, though I am educated as a classical musician and music theorist. I speak fluent Albanian, am a native English speaker, and can get by in a number of other European languages with limited fluency. I've lived in California (United States), Illinois (United States), Albania, and Iceland and coordinated volunteer projects in all of those locations. I work here at the foundation because I love working on wikis (and anything with categories) and because I love working with volunteers. At WMF, I get to do these two things every single day!
My work
I'm Winifred Olliff, Program Assistant to Global Development at Wikimedia Foundation. This means I support our Chief Global Development Officer Barry Newstead and focus on the following GD areas, in addition to supporting other areas as needed:
- WMF Grants Program
- WM Participation Support Program
- Chapter Relations and Chapter Development
- Wikipedian Student Organizations
- Other global volunteer support programs
I also do things like take notes at staff meetings, prepare global development's monthly report, and maintain our pages on various wikis. Therefore, I am a good person to ask if you think you need to talk to somebody in Global Development but you're not entirely sure who is working on what.
