Hi, my name is Nel. I'm a 28 year old Appalachian, and I had the privilege to grow up neglected and running around in the woods all day.
I have a Bachelor's of Arts in English, with a concentration in Technical and Science Writing. I almost have a Bachelor's of Science in Wildlife and Fisheries Management Science, and only did not complete this degree due to an intermittent physical disability getting worse. It has instead become my minor.
I still have a deep and abiding interest in conservation, rewilding, human-wildlife conflict, and large carnivores. I'm also interested in disability rights, the history of mental illness, LGBT+ history, and science communication.

Right now, my primary interest is in copyediting and working on citations and cross-links.
Things I like to do on Wikipedia:
go through Ecology-related articles and crosslink to create a more educational atmosphere and add citations.
go through Disability-related articles and clean up and standardize language.
go through LGBT-related articles to crosslink and standardize language.
go through Horse-related articles to clean up language, correct information, and link.
