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.

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).
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 :)
