User:Oh-Fortuna!

I am a Washington, DC native, and among the 15% of Wikipedia editors who are women. I'm an active member of WikiProject Women in Religion. Working with our members from Indiana University Indianapolis, Tulane, and Yale, our WikiProject has presented on feminist Wikipedia editing at the American Academy of Religion conference, the Yale Divinity School and library, and at WikiConference North America 2025 in New York. My women's biographies are inspired by the WikiProject Women in Red, and tagged with it. I live in the Georgetown neighborhood of Washington, DC, work at a major university, and attend mass at a nuns' monastery that was founded in 1795. Author of three books, co-editor of three more (two with a Jesuit), and facilitator of others' writing.

By the way, some have asked about the name. In the past I was a classical deejay, and O Fortuna by Orff became something of an inside joke because it was overplayed. It was also the name of one of my cats, Tuna for short. The exclamation point came from Oklahoma!, because my mother was from that state and she loved the songs from the Broadway play and movie. My father was 100% Italian (they were quite a couple), and his father was a tailor in Philadelphia.
