I am a fully committed, tried-and-true linguaphile.

My love of language has led me to study literature and linguistics, learn foreign languages, embrace the worlds of books and libraries, and devote myself to communication in its many forms.

Language is a vehicle for knowledge. And the diffusion of knowledge is the other passion of my life. Working in publishing, public libraries, ESL classrooms and research labs has allowed me to advance incredible ideas and to help make knowledge and learning resources available to a larger public.

I am excited to be a part of the Wikipedia editing community and help contribute to its success!
