"The open society, the unrestricted access to knowledge, the unplanned and uninhibited association of men for its furtherance - these are what may make a vast, complex, ever growing, ever changing, ever more specialized and expert technological world, nevertheless a world of human community." - J. Robert Oppenheimer

About me

I passionately believe that every human being on earth should have access to a meaningful volunteer experience as well as the ability to share in the sum of all knowledge, and I have developed programs to expand digital opportunity and coordinated volunteer programs in Albania, Iceland, and the United States. I am a native Caliornian and I graduated from Northwestern University in 2006 with a degree in Piano Performance.

My work

I support the Chief Global Development Officer and work on the Wikimedia Grants Program.

Disclaimer: I work for the Wikimedia Foundation, and this is the account I intend 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.
