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 wikis (and anything with categories) and because I love working with volunteers. At WMF, I get to do these two things every single day!
