I'm an occasional editor with interests in library history, roadside attractions, and the inclusion of more women in Wikipedia.
From January-June 2021 I worked as a Digital Collections Wikimedian-in-Residence through the University of Nevada Las Vegas as part of the WikiProject PCC Wikidata Pilot. I'm currently a librarian with Galter Health Sciences Library at Northwestern University. If there are any concerns with my edits, please get in touch.
Learn more about my namesake, the skvader.
I've created over 170 articles, mostly biographies. Wikipedia editing is a great way to make following rabbit holes into a hobby that's productive for society.
One of my areas of interest is improving the representation of D/deaf history in Wikipedia, although I am a hearing person.
