I started out by watching the [[Pokémon anime]] at around elementary school age on lazy Saturday {{tt|mornings|to this day I have no idea how I managed to wake up that early}}. Then school got in the way, life happened, and I stopped watching the anime. Pokémon became just a thing that other people would occasionally talk about, and I would only understand a few references to the anime.

Fast forward to late August 2010, when the combination of boredom and nostalgia overcame me. I ended up watching some of the first Pokémon episodes and my love for Pokémon was revived. From then on, I marathoned the entire anime in the course of about a month and started doing a whole bunch of research on Pokémon. I grew interest in the [[Pokémon games]] and started out by playing {{game|Gold and Silver|s|Pokémon Gold}}.

I first used [[Bulbapedia]] to find out some information about Pokémon, like any normal user. I lurked the site for a while, before joining on October 23, 2010. At first, I had no idea how to edit. I knew nothing about {{bp|wikicode}}! I learned over time by reading through all of the {{cat|Bulbapedia policies}}. About {{tt|two months|December 25, 2010}} after joining, I made <span class="plainlinks">[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Game_Freak&diff=prev&oldid=1293549 my very first edit]</span>. I started to become much more active in February 2011. On March 5, 2011, I became a temporary {{bp|Junior Administrators|Junior Administrator}} to help out with the English release of {{game|Black and White|s}}, but on April 30, 2011, I was officially made a member of the {{bp|staff}}. On December 14, 2011, I was promoted to an {{bp|Administrators|Administrator}} rank.

However, due to a {{tt|desire|okay...more like a need}} to focus on my education, I was completely inactive from late 2013 to late 2015, and consequently became categorized as an {{bp|Inactive Staff|inactive staff}} member. Once I'd settled in at college, I returned to active editing and rejoined the staff on January 18, 2016, so here I am now.

I am a {{#ifexpr: {{#time: z}} >= {{#time: z|October 28}}|{{#expr: {{#time: Y}} - 1997}}|{{#expr: {{#time: Y}} - 1998}}}}-year-old girl from {{wp|New York City}}, but reside at {{wp|Cornell University}} during the school year. I am generally nice and patient, so don’t be afraid to ask me any questions regarding helping Bulbapedia to be more complete. Admittedly, my knowledge of Pokémon is mainly limited to the games (up to and including [[Generation V]]) and the anime, so if you ask me questions pertaining to a topic outside of my area of expertise, I will have no choice but to redirect you to another staff member better suited for answering your question. With that said, I'm [[Special:RecentChanges|{{tt|always|okay, not literally always}} watching]] and available if needed. For more about me<small><small><small> <s>that I'm too lazy to type out</s></small></small></small>, see [[/Usertags|my usertags]].
