{{Image|Bitstrip avatar ChristineBushMV 2014.png|left|120px|I'm here to help.}}        I'm an independent writer and researcher living in Mountain View, California. I earned a B.A. in Liberal Arts from Excelsior College. My earlier undergraduate work focused on English Literature, Philosophy and Cognitive Science at NC State University. I attended San Jose State University where I studied Geography and History at the graduate level. I have training and work experience in geospatial  technologies and continue to enjoy creating maps for various projects using open source GIS tools. I have over 15 years of experience as a web developer. I am researching and writing a book about the intersection of embodiment and epistemology when not working on a botanically-related app. I have a blog at ideaspeak.us and paint watercolors to relax.


      I have been awarded two "barnstars" for my contributions to Wikipedia. I am the primary contributor to the article on "Encyclopedic knowledge" and a major contributor to the article on "Open educational resources." I find the online culture at Wikipedia to be toxic. I hope to contribute original maps and articles relating postcolonial studies and postmodernism to CZ. I also want to help [[CZ:Basic_Article_List|fill in the gaps]].
      I wish to continue to support Citizendium financially, and I am working to implement a safe, secure way for donations by check in addition to using PayPal. I want to see CZ grow and thrive because I think its article cluster schema is one of the most useful and scholarly available.
=== Notes to Self ===
:''Always look to your subject matter and sources for guidance and companionship. Forum discussions rarely result in inspiration (often the opposite).''
:''Leave work and experiences from Wikipedia (good and bad) at the door.''
=== June 2014 Election ===
      I am excited to have been given a chance to serve a one-year term on the '''Citizendium Council''' as an ''Author Representative''. It was eye-opening, however, to discover just how few of us actually participated in this election. We have work to do.
       During the current term, I intend to work to increase participation on CZ and to encourage more contributors to vote next year. I also want new users to feel welcome to contact me directly with any questions about writing articles. I make no claim to having all the answers, only to having the right experience to find them for you.
