| 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 was educated at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois where I received a Bachelor of Music in piano performance, and where I also studied Classics.

I've lived in California (United States), Illinois (United States), Albania, and Iceland, and coordinated volunteer projects in each of these locations. I speak fluent Albanian, am a native English speaker, and can get by in a number of other European languages with limited fluency.

I have two passions in my professional life: wikis and helping amazing volunteers create a better world, and so Wikimedia Foundation is the perfect place for me. I feel privileged to work with our community and to support the work of such a smart, innovative, and dedicated group of people.
| about my work = I'm Winifred Olliff, Grants Administrator at Wikimedia Foundation. I work on the following programs:
*WMF Grants Program (a program that funds projects aligned with WMF's mission through grants)
*Funds Dissemination Committee (the FDC makes recommendations to the WMF Board of Trustees for how to disseminate movement funds)
*Participation Support (a joint program of WMF and WMDE that reimburses volunteers for travel expenses in order to facilitate participation in mission-aligned activities)
*Other volunteer support programs (as they arise and develop)
I lead the development of administrative processes related to each of these programs, keep them running efficiently, and am also involved with the development of each program.
