I started editing wikis in 2007 and have been involved with wikiHow since June 2011. They call me a wikiGnome because I usually stay behind the scenes, working quietly in the background to keep things running smoothly. I'm not always visible and I tend to lurk as well, but I'm available to help out in any way I can!

Some of the activities I enjoy doing are:

  • Patrolling recent changes
  • Reviewing NFD articles
  • Making copyedits (e.g. fixing typos and spelling errors) and adjusting formatting to comply with article guidelines
  • Cleaning up redirects
  • Keeping all areas of wikiHow spam-free
  • Handling situations that need admin assistance


When I'm not on wikiHow, you could find me working, sleeping, eating, binge watching, or playing my keyboards.

Everyone needs to get blood tests at some point in their life. I've been working as a phlebotomist and lab technician since 2017, and have collaborated with wikiHow's content staff team to provide a comprehensive and authoritative review on a few articles related to blood tests, and showcase my name as an expert co-author. Check them out here: How to Prepare for a Blood Test, How to Get a Red Blood Cell Count, and How to Raise Hemoglobin.

Thanks for your continuous and tireless patrolling work for wikiHow. Your selfless contribution has helped wikiHow to be a lot better. Your efforts have led to a significant decrease in the patrolling numbers which plays a vital role in enhancing the confidence of our fellow wikiHowians. I as a newbie admire you and I will forever. You really deserve this one :)

The Patroller's Barnstar



I am giving you this barnstar for the efforts you've made at the front lines of RC patrol in the month of June, 2013. It was an intense month and we struggled to keep up with RC, but your dedication made a difference and your commitment to quality is deeply appreciated. Thank you for all the time you invested into making sure wikiHow is the amazing, high-quality resource we want it to be!
