I am a contractor with the Wikimedia Foundation (JKoerner (WMF) since January 2021) as a Board Governance Facilitator. This is my personal account. Edits, statements, or other contributions made from this account are my own, and may not reflect the views of the Foundation.

November 2016-2018, I was a Wikipedia Visiting Scholar of San Francisco State University and the Paul K. Longmore Institute on Disability in San Francisco, California. I aimed to abide by Wikipedia's accepted practices on conflict of interest, neutrality, and notability. This was an unpaid position aimed at connecting Wikipedia contributors with content.
