About Me

I am a Louisville native. I was in the public school system from kindergarten until I graduated from Jeffersontown High School in 2005. I currently attend Bellarmine University here in Louisville, and am employed by Jefferson County Public Schools in the Security and Investigations Unit.

Areas of Interest

I got started on Wikipedia by contributing to articles related to The Sims 2. Currently, I spend most of my time with the Louisville WikiProject. My areas of concentration for that project are education and law enforcement. I added most of the information in the Jefferson County Public Schools (Kentucky) article and created the Louisville Metro Police Department article -- though they would not be as good as they are were it not for other editors. I'm currently working on a navigation box for Jefferson County Public Schools, as well as looking into a restructuring plan for the Education in Louisville category -- as an exclusionist, I would rather not see all these stubs on elementary schools.

I'm hoping to get the JCPS and LMPD articles up to the feature article level.

One of these days, I may decide to drive around the city and take pictures of all these schools so that there is something to put in these articles.

September 16, 2006 Update

I've added WikiProject Mathematics to my interests. I've created some graphics for geometry-related articles. I'm currently helping out on improving Polar coordinate system from GA to FA.

I'm also working on the Wikification backlog. I've wikified the following articles:

El Paso County Constable - 2006-09-16
Juvenile Delinquents Act - 2006-09-16
New York City Police Department Combat Cross - 2006-09-16
New York City Police Department Medal for Valor - 2006-09-16

For what it's worth

I've started contributing to the Mathematics Wikia, so I've taken up learning Latex. If you have any equation requests, let me know.
