I became a librarian because I was a Wikipedian. Coming from a small town with an almost-always-closed public library, Wikipedia was my window to a larger world. When I had the privilege of a good library nearby, my goal was clear: sharing knowledge in the Wikimedia Projects, as others did for me.

In February 2023, I joined the Wikimedia Foundation to work as the Senior Program Officer, Libraries as part of the Content Enablement Team (previously known as Culture & Heritage) which works within Community Programs larger team.

Some hopefully useful resources I've been working on:

1. Vital Article Improvement Tool: A script and a tutorial video to help automate the discovery of structured improvement tasks for Vital articles.

2. Why are librarians, wikibrarians? An infographic showing the reasons why librarians decide to contribute to Wikimedia and examples of what they do (¡también disponible en español

   

3. How To #1Lib1Ref, a little page where I have gathered tricks, tools and ideas for your campaign
4. TMIG database, a database with the full text of all This Month in GLAM reports from 2011 to March 2023. You can find a GoogleSheets version too! And some examples on how to use my database are in these slides.
