About me

Hiya! Welcome to my userpage. I'm SunTunnels — but you can also call me Kyr or Lily if you like — and my pronouns are she/they. I've been using Wikipedia almost my whole life and briefly tried editing circa 2016 and 2021, but it didn't take. However, my interest in this strange site was rekindled in 2024 after I broke my talus while lead climbing on Cape Town's Table Mountain and subsequently found myself with more time on my hands and less weight allowed on my feet. Since then I've participated in GOCE drives and blitzes, Women in Red events, and various other WikiProjects. I've written a few articles from scratch, one of which was featured on DYK not long ago, and another of which was just promoted to Good Article status. Safe to say I am new here, and I'm excited to contribute to an open-access knowledge base and meet new people!

I currently live among the cornfields of Minnesota, where I'm pursuing an undergraduate degree focused on geography and archaeology. When I'm not editing Wikipedia, I can be found making music, playing video games, or reading Wikipedia. I definitely will not forget to finish this about-me section later. Cheers!
