 personal info

I am an undergraduate student at the University of Minnesota pursuing a degree in conservation biology. I enjoy many outdoor pursuits and am interested in wildlife, ecosystem ecology, conservationism, environmentalism, and resource sustainability. I plan to work for an advanced degree in wildlife conservation or some closely related field after completing my undergraduate studies.

I made my first Wikipedia edit on December 18, 2005 to the Gray Wolf article, making what I thought were improvements to an article that was, in my opinion, lacking in organization and grammatical structure at the time. My first edit under this name came on January first of this year. Since then, I’ve added large portions of relevant material to the article in some instances, grammar-nitpicked in others, and vastly improved organization compared to what the article was like prior to 12/18/05.

There is still much that could be added to improve the article, but in the meantime, I check back on it from time to time for quality control purposes. The diligent attention to quality that I tend to give the article may yet manifest itself in the form of effort given to other articles that are within my interests. As of now, however, I am nothing more than an occasional – and sometimes random (one night I re-wrote the Kreia article) – contributor.
