Why

As an immigrant, the practice of writing is what truly helped me learn English, and I found the wealth of knowledge that flowed from it to be invaluable. Writing for wikiHow now allows me to share this wealth via the written word, helping others navigate our ever-changing world – the only home we've ever known.

Secret Talents

I can wiggle my ears. I've been collecting fortune cookie fortunes for about 20 years and have hundreds. I also love to cook, and once, I won a Game of Thrones trivia contest-- I love trivia!
