About

Welcome to my user page. I have been a writer my whole life.

I am advocating that the Wikipedia community to come up with better policies for notability regarding minorities that may have less journalistic and media coverage. I am contributing to increase the number of notable Women and People of Color on Wikipedia.

I am a polyglot -- English, Spanish, German and French. Currently, I am a professional genetic genealogist and YouTuber. I enjoyed updating Wikipedia with new information and learning along the way. I know basic html. I need help with navigating the talk pages and learning how to use categories and templates. I hope to add more to Wikipedia as I gain confidence on the platform.
