對所有候選人的提問 - 針對單一候選人，而非所有候選人的提問

聲明

在2018年北美洲維基會議中，我被一名德國影片製作者訪問。我就維基媒體應該增加對南營國家的支援以增強連接。這會增加我們的用戶群，也使滿足維基媒體使命宣言邁向正確的一步。

The Strategic Working Groups of Partnership and Capacity are keys to the future to keep all Wikimedia projects relevant and increased focus in needed.
Continued growth is vital to create a thriving movement. The technical obstacles to mobile readership should be overcome as our resources are limited.

During the 2018 WikiConference North America, I was interviewed by a German vlogger. I said that Wikimedia should increase support to the Global South to improve access. It would be an incremental improvement in our user base. This would be a step in the correct direction to fulfill Wikimedia's Mission Statement.

This is my final statement. Thank you for all of the translations.

資歷

其他活動

我現時是一名稅務律師。

我有處理複雜稅務事項的經驗。作為董事，這個經驗亦有作用，因為董事需要優先處理財務限制。根據有關事實，我已找到解決複雜問題的方案。

我現時在美國財政部任職。

我雖然擁有全職工作，我仍能參與部份董事會議。

Currently, I am the Treasurer and Steward of a Washington, D.C. chapter of the National Treasury Employees Union.

I keep the NTEU chapter's financial books and records.

Currently, I am a Major in the Maryland Defense Force in the Judge Advocate Corps.

I drafted policies, such as the informal administrative investigations policy, which were were later adopted.

I was a Town Councilmember of the Town of Berwyn Heights.

As a non-partisan political position, I lead the town in Parks and Recreation, of which the town earned the Banner City status for the first time.

I was the Financial Secretary of a Knights of Columbus chapter.

This activity gave me hands-on operating experience with the day-to-day activities of a large organization. That practical experience is the basis of understanding any organization’s constraints.

I am active in two maker spaces.
