Greetings! I have been at Citizendium since the pilot began. I hold the roles of Assistant to the Chief Constable, author, and informally Media Assets Lead.

Education and experience

You can learn about my educational and work achievements by reading my resume.

I plan to enter an interdisciplinary Ph.D. program in 2008.

Academic Interests

"I am specializing in the Universe and all that surrounds it." —Peter Cook

I have very broad interests. Among them are:

Work

I have numerous years international work experience and it has marked all I do. One of my main passions is adult education and its role in community-based development. My pedagogy is eclectic yet informed by critical literacy in the vein of Paulo Freire. One of Freire's co-authors, Ira Shor, perfectly defines critical literacy as facilitating

habits of thought, reading, writing, and speaking which go beneath surface meaning, first impressions, dominant myths, official pronouncements, traditional cliches, received wisdom, and mere opinions, to understand the deep meaning, root causes, social context, ideology, and personal consequences of any action, event, object, process, organization, experience, text, subject matter, policy, mass media, or discourse.[1]

"Siren" is a Saipanese "Boonie Dog"

I teach adults remedial literature and reading, writing, social sciences, computers, and special topics. I am also a curriculum writer, and a tutor of students with often complex second-language acquisition difficulties.

Play

I greatly enjoy fishing and could tell you some "fish stories" with happy endings and that are actually true. I also enjoy camping and am enormously thankful for mosquito repellent. I additionally enjoy cooking, movies (especially sci-fi), and dogs. I also enjoy contributing to a "fun" article now and then, like Tux.

Contributions

Obviously, most of my contributions are "meta"-related or behind-the-scenes. I just don't have time very often to really bunker down and write articles—I am here, first, to help you write them. Still, I am a major contributor to:

If I show up at an article you've been working on and decide to become substantially involved with it as an author, know that I am a perfectionist and am envisioning the day when our approved articles are independently evaluated side-by-side with Britannica's and Wikipedia's.

Acronyms
  • {{acronym}},

Image problems
  • {{fiximage}} - for user authored content they forgot to license.
  • {{badimage}} - use for uploader's talk page, says image will be deleted unless fixed.
  • {{badimage2}} - use if it appears image uploader may not be active. Place at article talk page where image appears.
  • {{fairuse}} - for when a contributor uploads a "fair use" image. Prods them to instead seek permission to use it or it may be deleted.
  • {{deletedimage}} - for images deleted without warning or after warning was given but with no action.
