About Myself

I'm a student archaeologist and anthropologist, sculptor, and amateur classicist. I also moonlight occasionally as a voice actor, primarily lending my voice to open source and free culture projects. Wikipedia isn't just a hobby for me; like many here, I believe knowledge should be free and open, and Wikimedia projects are an essential part in helping to make that happen.

Most of my time here is spent largely behind the scenes: welcoming and helping new users, participating in Articles for Creation, reverting [needless] vandalism, and doing my part in general to keep Wikipedia a reliable and neutral source of uncensored information.

Since I do spend the majority of my time welcoming and helping new users, I primarily try to keep my user page a place where they can find the information they need to navigate the world of Wikipedia.
