Hello everyone. My name is Troy Wilkinson. I’m a U.S. citizen who was born in California, had a video game-filled childhood and then went off to university at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Colorado. I studied Journalism and Media during my time there and developed my passions for writing, graphic design and involving myself in community groups.
I’m new to Effective Altruism. I’ve spent a year trying to Give What I Can via GiveWell and refine my work ethic so that I can embark on an impactful career. I hope that through this forum and other resources I can help spread the movement of Effective Altruism and inspire others to do what they can (which turns out to be a tremendous amount more than they may think).
As a former college journalist, it’s nice to see another person here who loves writing. I hope you’ll find some useful posts on the Forum. And since you’re new, I recommend looking checking out this resource to see if an online course or the EA Handbook seems helpful.
Hi Aaron, likewise! I’ve already applied to take part in next month’s intro EA course. Excited, though unsure if I will be accepted to participate. Anyhow, nice to meet you.
I would love to. Though, I suppose it has already passed by now and I didn’t mention that I’ve moved to and been working in China for a few years now. Does Boulder have an EA group? If you are part of the group I’d have a few questions :)
