I am a disability professional, writer, activist, and researcher with a background in public policy and sociology. My primary interests are in disability policy, education, community living, comparative law and policy, and disability.

I use this Wikipedia account primarily to edit articles for grammar, syntax, and spelling. (If I see “everytime,” “infront,” “alright,” or “alot,” I will not hesitate to make them their standard two-word forms.) I also fact-check articles with dubious accuracy, update language on articles to reflect community preferences, and advocate the removal of stigmatising language about health, gender, race, and disability. I assume no expertise in areas other than my own particular interests, and will not do extensive rewriting or original writing of articles outside that area, unless it is solely for grammatical, syntactical, or spelling errors that can be fixed easily.

I tend to correct the following things with extreme prejudice: sexist language, American spellings and punctuation in articles related to Commonwealth countries or Western Europe, systemic bias (US-, UK-, or other western country-centrism, for example), date formats (usually changing Month-Day-Year to Day-Month-Year or Year-Month-Day in articles that are neither about the US nor Canada), and misused punctuation.
