== About Me ==
I'm a student at the [https://www.rit.edu/ Rochester Institute of Technology] and majoring in [http://nsa.rit.edu/ Networking & Systems Administration]. I intend to graduate in 2019. I started using Linux (and Fedora) in December 2013 - Fedora 20 was my first Linux distribution. Growing up with Apple hardware, I slowly made the transition from OS X to Linux, and now proudly run all of my devices with Linux-based operating systems. I am extremely passionate about free and open source software and I try to champion it anywhere I can. As part of my time at RIT, I plan to pursue the [http://magic.rit.edu/foss/ FOSS Minor] as part of my degree.


I'm generally idling somewhere on IRC around the clock (IRC: jwf), so if you see me, feel free to ping me and say hi!

Activities in Fedora

I always wanted to get involved with Fedora, so I finally took the leap some years ago. Most of my contributions are as a(n)…

I also write an occasional blog post of my own for Fedora Planet.


Activities outside Fedora

I've managed my own Minecraft server, CrystalCraftMC for the past five years. I am a former staff member of SpigotMC, a free and open source Minecraft server software. Before Fedora, I mostly worked in the Minecraft open source community.

At my university, I am the 2016-2018 president of the RIT Linux Users Group. I am involved with the FOSS@MAGIC academic community by helping promote open source across my university. I'm also a member of the RIT Women in Computing program.

Outside of the US, I'm also a remote member of the Open Labs Hackerspace, a non-profit community hackerspace in Tirana, Albania promoting free and open source projects.

I'm also a coffee fanatic and a former barista. I support Direct Trade Coffee!
