I'm a freelance writer, translator (Spanish<> English), and editor. I've decided to participate in editing Wikipedia because the availability of accurate, clear information is important to me. I also hold a degree in horticulture and like to contribute to/edit pages about plants, especially ornamental and medicinal plants.
Username edit
"Aegis" refers to the shield of the Greek goddess of wisdom, Athena (Greek mythology is a minor interest of mine).
Personal Philosophy edit
Making rational decisions requires one to consider all available, relevant information. Seeking to discover, provide, clarify, and disseminate accurate and important information is, therefore, a rational pursuit, and one that improves the world one lives in.
A Note edit
I am currently receiving a stipend for learning to edit Wikipedia. This functions similarly to a flexible internship; I am getting paid to learn about editing Wikipedia and research my own interests.
