Meet Sarah, a teacher from Kentucky who has been a member of the wikiHow community for over 7 years. She’s an Admin, New Article Booster, and Featured Author, and she likes to patrol recent changes and write articles about hair care, knitting, and a range of other topics. In her years here, she’s started 53 articles and patrolled over 45,500 changes. She really enjoyed working on How to Knit a Cable Cast On, which she bold edited and took the photographs for. The first article she ever worked was How to Follow the Curly Girl Method for Curly Hair, and she now has a YouTube channel dedicated to helping women learn how to style and care for their hair. Her proudest accomplishment on wikiHow has been receiving her Barnstar awards, and she loves being part of a friendly and collaborative community working towards a common goal. She advises new editors: check out the Writer's Guide and then start by writing articles about subjects you’re interested in and try to find your niche.
