I try to be concise but sometimes my writing tends to be verrrryyyy long since I care a lot about details and specifics. Since that's the case, I'll keep this short:

My interests lie in games and anything art-related. I want to help close the content gender gap on Wikipedia by focusing on and contributing to articles about women and non-binary individuals and their works.

You may also find me editing articles about children's book authors and illustrators, since that's been my recent obsession.

Also, accessibility is important. If you haven't already, read through Wikipedia's Manual of Style for Accessibility.

The problem areas I see most are: bulleted lists and indents on talk pages, color & color contrast in user pages, captions and alternative text on article images, and section headings on articles.

All my edits are made in good faith. Please feel free to point out if I've made a mistake.

Keep humble, and keep on keeping on!
