Hi there! I'm part of the wikiHow staff and excited to be working alongside the community to help wikiHow achieve its mission to teach anyone to do anything! I've worked in education and technology previously and love how wikiHow combines the two.

I'm originally from New Zealand, but I got the travel bug when I was younger and it's led me to visit 25 countries and live in a few of them! Now I enjoy living and traveling within the US.

I have some musical knowledge so you'll probably see me editing articles in that area. Ukulele is currently my instrument of choice - it's fun and always makes me smile :)

The da Vinci Barnstar



Jayne, you are always smiling, jovial and helpful. Your earthy and amicable attitude relaxes me in communicating my wikiHow related problems with you, which you promptly help me with. Be it reviewing articles or sending me the right resource, you are always welcoming and kind. Your leadership of the wikiHow community makes me feel in awe of you at how easy you make it all seem while tackling a Herculean load of work. I hope you stay here guiding us for many years to come and we take every care to respect the care you take of us. I hope you stay with us forever.

Jayne, today is your wikiBirthday! Happy wikiBirthday! 💖. You remind me of those superheroes. Wherever they are, and even if they are busy with something else, they get time to make your day sparkle and keep you happy. If everyone had a choice to chose the most compassionate, kind, and amazing person, with no doubt it will be you :). You are the best Jayne! You deserve all the barnstars and more. Your edits are what make articles shine. You are an amazing person, with great patrolling skills, and I don't know how on earth you get back to everyone who messages you and can edit so many articles, patrol changes, and do so much more. You are truly a superwikiHowian! There is no way that wikiHow can repay you for all the work you've done. The world needs people like you! Thank you so much for being here Jayne. You rock!

Kind wikiHow Contributor



Jayne, You are so kind, awesome, and generally a nice person, which is why I'm awarding you this Kindness Barnstar. You are always asking others how they're doing, what they're up to, and being very heartfelt and genuine when helping others. The small acts of kindness really add up! Just someone like you asking me how I'm doing and acknowledging me can make me that much happier. You are one of the kindest, most respectful users I've seen on wikiHow and 100% deserve this barnstar. I'm surprised others haven't beaten me to it!

Hello, I've been meaning to thank the staff of wikiHow and express my thoughts to them since quite some time. This is a collective message of gratitude for all of the wikiHausers. I admire how well-mannered the response from any staff member is. Be it Krystle, Anna, Chris, Caitlynn, or our newest Community bff Jayne. It is a learning experience to see how they tackle community questions and positive or less positive feedback. Even when we might sound angry, their response is well put and sensitive. I see grace, depth, humor and keen observation in the staff. I also thank the very versatile wikiVisuals team and engineers for working behind the scenes, and also consistently working on new updates and developments, that may go unnoticed. I pray that you all stay together and grow in wisdom and companionship. I hope you keep growing stronger and know how special you are.



I AM AWESOME!

I got complimented for being awesome!

If you want to compliment someone awesome, add {{Awesome2}} to their talk page. They may add to their User page if they want to later.
