Angela Beesley

Hi Wikians! I'm the co-founder of Wikia, a project Jimmy Wales and I started in October 2004. I work here as the Vice-President of Community. I've been a volunteer editor at Wikipedia for more than five years, and was on the board of its parent organisation, the Wikimedia Foundation for two years. I'm originally from England and now live in Australia.
