About me

I am a student at BYU studying English, with an emphasis in creative writing and a minor in editing. I enjoy learning about various literary aspects of literature, such as syntax, metaphors, and rhyme. I ask my fellow editors to be patient with me as I continue to grow as a writer and collaborator.

COI

This user, in accordance with the Terms of Use, discloses that she has been paid by BYU to edit Wikipedia.

Conflict of interest statement

I am employed and paid hourly by the Harold B. Lee Library at Brigham Young University to edit Wikipedia and am a student employee of Rachel Helps (BYU). I am also a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Many of my contributions have involved the Book of Mormon, but I am now moving to non-LDS topics due to WP:COI and WP:NPOV. See the discussion here.

I have taken a class from Kimberly Johnson and am a member of Y-Fiction. As an English major I come to appreciate the literature pages I edit. I seek to be neutral in my writing, but as I've been cited before for not using a neutral wiki voice, it is very well possible that my appreciation of literature will inadvertently come out in my edits. If this ever threatens the integrity of the articles I edit, please send me a polite private message.

Quotes

John Keats

"I was never afraid of failure; for I would sooner fail than not be among the greatest."

Percy Bysshe Shelley

"I have drunken deep of joy,

And I will taste no other wine tonight."

~The Cenci

Tolkein

"'What a pity that Bilbo did not stab that vile creature, when he had a chance!'

"'Pity? It was Pity that stayed his hand. Pity, and Mercy: not to strike without need. And he has been well rewarded, Frodo. Be sure that he took so little hurt from the evil, and escaped in the end, because he began his ownership of the Ring so. With Pity.'" ~The Fellowship of the Ring

Milton

"The mind is its own place, and in itself

Can make a heav'n of hell, a hell of heav'n."

~Paradise Lost, Book 1

"Good, the more

Communicated, more abundant grows."

~Paradise Lost, Book 5

Jane Austen

"'An unhappy alternative is before you, Elizabeth. From this day you must be a stranger to one of your parents. Your mother will never see you again if you do not marry Mr. Collins, and I will never see you again if you do.'"

~Pride and Prejudice
