I'm an attorney and an advocate for open access to scholarly articles. During law school, I co-founded an open access policy initiative at the University of Washington.[1] After several years of advocacy alongside SPARC, the Right to Research Coalition, OpenCon, and others, the policy was successful.[2] In broad strokes, I’m interested in digital policy, open communication systems, free speech and journalism, and copyright issues.

Conflicts Statement:

I will not make any edits that would not be beneficial to the goals of Wikipedia. I will modify my editing behavior based on problems cited by other editors or if my editing conflicts with other Wikipedia guidelines. I ask that other editors do not hesitate to contact me, via my user talk page, if I appear to be going against this declaration.
