Hello there!

I used to be a very active editor until med school and residency stole all of my free time. I am starting to jump back in. My main goal in working on Wikipedia was to improve its quality (and reputation in public opinion) by editing articles to conform to policy, adding references, removing unsourced info, and fixing grammatical errors. I was a member of WikiProject Disambiguation, WikiProject Medicine, WikiProject Psychology, and occasionally contributed to AfD. Currently my focus is on removing vandalism. Everything in the below sections I wrote in 2009. I've decided to leave it untouched for the sake of nostalgia.
