This is an apology and request for help from editors. I am a novice at Wikipedia editing and thought I would edit my Wikipedia bio to bring it up to date and add additional facts. (The article was done by someone else and never edited by me previously.) Unfortunately, I did not read the policy on autobiography editing beforehand, and so did not realize the proper course was to suggest edits on this talk page and allow a neutral editor to decide whether they were appropriate.

That was a mistake and I would like to put it right. Below are the explanations I originally provided for the edits I made. It would be great if a neutral editor could decide whether or not they are appropriate and should remain or be deleted. I'm not looking to puff up my bio, just to have it accurate and complete. If this request should be directed somewhere else, I'd appreciate it if whomever reads this would let me know.

Thanks for all your work on Wikipedia. Here are the original explanations for my edits:
