必須回答的問題
您為何競選維基媒體基金會理事會成員?您會為維基媒體基金會理事會貢獻什麼?您想進一步了解什麼? 作為一名志願者,我了解維基世界並且喜歡維基世界。我體驗過維基媒體基金會工作人員的視角,這可能是我擔任過的最有成就感的專業角色。我認為,進一步探索網路上這個最好的地方,並將我在之前(和正在進行的)角色中學到的所有知識提升到一個新的水平,既具有挑戰性,又充滿回報。維基世界給了我許多奇妙的禮物——知識、友誼、靈感和許多快樂的回憶。我希望我能作為維基媒體基金會理事會成員回饋一些東西。如果大家信任我,讓我擔任維基媒體基金會理事會成員,我希望能在這個職位上獲得知識、靈感和更多東西。
請描述您的維基媒體經驗(例如:對維基媒體專案的貢獻、維基媒體組織或維基媒體自治體的成員資格、作為維基媒體運動組織者的活動或參與維基媒體運動盟友組織)。 我於 2014 年開始編輯德語維基百科,目的是為該平台帶來更多有關當代詩歌的知識。我很快就對幕後的社群產生了興趣,首先參加了當地的聚會,然後參加了國際聚會。在那裡我學到了很多精彩的東西,也遇到了很多了不起的人,這讓我想以更多不同的方式做出更多貢獻。在大約三年半的時間裡,我擔任德語維基百科的管理員。在那裡,我在關於行為的社群討論中發揮了非常積極的作用。我為德語維基百科創建的內容涉及從突尼斯考古遺址廚房用具等主題。我的主要關注點慢慢地從文學主題轉向女性和邊緣群體人士的傳記。今天,我是 FemNetz 的一員,這是一群希望在德語維基百科上促進性別平等的女性。我同時開始發現其他維基媒體專案和其他維基語言版本,並發現了我對維基共享資源的熱愛。今天我的大部分工作都在這個專案上。從上傳我自己的圖像,到幫助對圖像捐贈和透過國際活動上傳的圖像進行分類,再到參與特色圖像流程和照片挑戰。目前我對專案進行了超過 102,000 次編輯。

我同時以我的專業角色為維基媒體運動做出了貢獻——首先是作為信任與安全團隊的成員,後來作為社群發展團隊的成員。這項工作讓我深入了解了我們中的一些人由於對維基百科的善意貢獻而不得不面對的挑戰,有時甚至是危險,而這是外部勢力不希望看到的。我同時對全球不同社群的運作有了有趣的見解——特別是當我們研究《通用行為準則》時。我同時了解到很多關於這個獨特且受人喜愛的陌生人社群如何合作,以及它所制定的令人驚嘆的應對策略。

從您的角度來看,維基媒體基金會在未來 5-10 年應該優先考慮什麼,為什麼您認為這些是最重要的優先事項? 處理累積的技術債務,使維基世界(尤其是維基共享資源)在技術上適應未來,無疑是當務之急。我們面臨著與大多數網路使用者失去聯繫的危險。另一個當務之急是進一步提高我們打擊假新聞和虛假資訊的能力,因為人工智慧使得利用令人信服的圖像傳播虛假訊息變得越來越容易。

然而,對我來說,首要任務應該是吸引更多來自世界各地的貢獻者,或是我們至今尚未觸及的社會領域。如果我們想要保持相關性,就需要在我們的平台上提供其他地方所缺乏的知識——而掌握這些知識的人往往不在歐洲或北美。即使有,他們也不屬於社群的典型人口組成。除此之外,我們同時需要提高保護平台貢獻者的能力,使其免受騷擾、無端的法律威脅和類似的危險。因此,對我來說,進一步發展維基媒體基金會的人權能力也是優先事項之一。

Optional questions - Professional Experience, Skills and Education
Please describe your experience with governing bodies of organizations (nonprofit or for-profit), mentioning the scope of your responsibilities, as well as the complexity of the organization (in terms of scale of operations, budget, number of people involved, or other meaningful measures) and the size of the board or body. I have been on the boards of several smallish non-profit organizations in the social and artistic field. These range from an org that runs a training institution for Systemic Therapy and employs around 20 people (some of them as contractors), where I sat on the board during a time of significant change, to a purely volunteer run literary org where I hold financial responsibility for more than 20 years now.
Please describe your professional career experience. For most of my life I worked in the social field, centering on individual clients with complex problems using a systemic approach. I held some leadership positions in this field including the management of a large day care center for children with cognitive disabilities. For six years I worked for the Wikimedia Foundation in the Trust&Safety and the Community Development Teams. In this role I supported the committees that developed the UCoC and its implementation guidelines.
Please briefly describe 3 situations that show how you tackled, or advised others on, a complex problem in an organization. How did you work with others to address the situations?
Please describe your educational background, including degrees, certificates, and courses of study finished, and their relevance to board work. Diploma in Social Work, Certificates in Systemic Counseling, Trauma Counseling, Psychosocial Supporter during Legal Proceedings and Project Management (PRINCE2 and Scrum)
Please add any relevant links describing your professional background, experience, profile (such as LinkedIn, staff page, etc.).
Optional questions - Leadership Experience
Please describe ways in which you have helped to form a bridge between multiple communities (such as by working on projects outside your home wiki, or working on a collaboration between multiple affiliates).
Can you describe a policy, on wiki or off, that you helped to create or change? What did you learn from this experience?
How have you been able to empower people to make their voices heard? In my professional capacity working for WMF I made sure to invite volunteers from different communities and diverse demographics to all discussions, research projects and consultations I was part of. And not only to formally invite them, but to really bring them in and to make space for them. I actually often was the person other WMF staff members turned to for advice on how to reach out to those voices that are not always heard. The most impactful thing I did in this capacity was probably making sure Maggie Dennis had a diverse and qualified candidate pool to choose from for the committees that wrote the UCoC and its enforcement guidelines.

I mentored a number of younger colleagues at WMF as well as at other workplaces. I often got the feedback that my advice helped them a lot to settle in their roles and to make important steps in their careers. Some of them brought grievances to my attention that they were not sure how to adress - among them a few serious problems with discrimination. In most cases I was able to connect them to the appropriate channels with some good advice on how to talk about these issues. This usually resulted in their perspective being heard and changes for the better being implemented.

Speaking a bit more generally, I am known for always listening carefully, stepping back to make space for other voices and passing the microphone to those who have not had their say. For people who are not comfortable holding the microphone themselves, I have been quite successful in finding other means of communication, like written text, or conveying their opinion in a smaller setting.

Sometimes in professional situations, there are personality conflicts. Explain how you remain productive even with personality conflicts. With patience, with joy in what I do and with love I can remain productive.
Optional questions - Strategic Thinking
Where do you see the need for greater diversity in the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees or within the movement? What steps would you take to improve diversity on the Board or within the movement? What steps would you recommend the Board take to improve diversity? I am very happy the board of Trustee does well with gender diversity. I was also happy to have worked for the Foundation as part of the most diverse work force I ever experienced. Still, I see all the places that are not filled, I hear voices that are not represented. I see some communities that lack diversity. And I know about voices neither me nor others in the movement can hear. We need the knowledge of these voices, their wisdom and their skills. We need to make room for them, amplify those we hear and strain to listen to more of them. We need to realize we need them and then work to let them know about our need. Wikimedia needs diversity like Wikimedians need oxygen. Let's get more of it!
