A bit about my history with journalism. Two years ago or so, I began working for a college paper in Minnesota. My role was primary photo editor. However, I did write several articles which I will post as examples of my work at a later date (I don't have easy access to them.)

I am interested in reporting Minnesota or other regional news. I also hope to cover the 2008 RNC in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Even though I am not a Republican, I view this as a great way to do some original reporting.

I discovered Wikipedia several years ago, but got into it heavily this summer. I have been doing a lot of work with WikiProject Schools and the Saint Paul, Minnesota article as part of a push for GA or higher status.
