Cisgender-female Māori living in New Zealand. Intermittently editing.

I am an academic published in the area of Te Tiriti o Waitangi. My edits often reflect this interest.

I completed a doctoral thesis on mass extinction and responsibility. Following work conducted in geochronology, I deleted a redirect to develop an article, Lopingian, and created my first new articles: Greenlandian, and Meghalayan. I thank the geo-Wiki community for its patience while I relearn skills I have not regularly applied in many years.

I nominated East Timor to be moved. I am an expert in neither move requests nor Timor-Leste. The article is still called 'East Timor'.

I deleted another redirect to develop an article, Heaux Tales. My interests are wide.

I am a published academic and have edited other academics' work for publication. I have a tendency towards the predominant academic citation style: APA. Until recently, I manually referenced in Wikipedia, but am attempting to adjust to the refToolbar to help Wikipedia (1) collect citations across the site into a single database; and (2) standardise the format. In addition to English Wikipedia, I have edited at Wikisource (English and Multilingual), Māori Wiktionary ,and Māori Wikipedia.
