Hello yinz! I've been a Wikipedian since 2007, with very sporadic periods of activity since then. I started editing in earnest again in 2020: one of the few positive aspects of the COVID-19 pandemic. I am a Portuguese-American and Azorean-American native of Boston, Massachusetts. I am a licensed architect in Massachusetts. I graduated from Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, and lived in that wonderful city—which I consider my second hometown—for five years. I also lived five-ish months in Copenhagen, Denmark, while studying abroad. I love reading and traveling.
