Hello everyone!
My name is Madeleine, and I’m here to say hello and fulfill my goal of making any kind of post on an online forum before the month of February ends.
I’m currently an undergraduate student based in Texas, and when I learned about EA (through GiveWell’s website), I was thrilled to find a community that is tackling the questions and issues I’d often wondered about in disjointed ways but never assembled into a coherent theory that I could ask someone about or investigate.
I’m studying Electrical and Computer Engineering and searching for a way to have an impactful career. I find doing things publicly and engaging with other people hard and scary but so necessary for multiplying our collective impact, so I’m grateful to have this welcoming community and open thread as an easy way to become more comfortable with this.
Excited to be here and looking forward to meeting other community members!
Thank you, I definitely will! I think I attempted to visit the site maybe half a dozen times while it was down and am thrilled that it is back again. Sending gratitude for restarting it!
