I am a student at Rice University majoring in Psychology and minoring in Poverty, Justice, and Human Capabilities. I wrote my first Wikipedia article for a class in the fall of 2016, and will write or revise another for a class this semester. I am particularly interested in sports and education, including how marginalized groups are able or unable to be involved. I hope to contribute to a broader and more nuanced understanding of these topics through editing Wikipedia.

Muslim women in sport

edit

For a class in the fall of 2016, I created the article Muslim women in sport, which has now achieved good article status.

Chronic pain in childhood

For a class in the spring of 2017, I plan to create an article called "Chronic pain in childhood". My annotated bibliography can be found below.
