Why
Everything interests me, which makes writing for wikiHow both a challenge and an adventure in learning about new topics daily while helping others learn too.
Secret Talents
I'm a huge fan of horror films and use the fall season as an excuse to watch as many as possible, whether 1980s slashers, Italian giallo, classic monster movies, or arthouse-style films. Folk horror is my very favorite of all and links back to my thesis on Irish mythology and ritual (plus they're fun!).
