it's the Laura!(she/her) I like to write articles generally under the label of "history." I think coverage on-wiki of history is unfortunately highly variable and at times biased in its coverage and quality, and I want to try to do my little part to fix that. I think improving social and economic history is something we ought to strive for.
I like writing about obscure historical figures (because of their relative simplicity in presenting an overview) and coins (because I collect them and find them neat pieces of art.) I want to stretch out into more areas, especially regarding broad-scale historical topics, which are woefully represented at the moment.
If you want to reach me, you can always message me on my talk page. I'm also very active on the Wikimedia Discord, which I would suggest folks join for the ease it brings to collaboration and sharing sources!
