As she says, she hates talking about herself, so allow me to do it for her. Umm, where should I start.
I first met her in our Curie Curation Links channel on the Curie Discord server. It was a bit of a training ground for us to find new Curie Curators. In there we could give them feedback on posts and help them learn what it takes to become part of Curie. It was clear to me almost immediately that she'd be an amazing curator for Curie. It was a big plus that she was already a part of the Helpie community, but really she was a natural. As such, I recommended her to become part of Curie soon after.
Since joining Curie in March she has ascended to the upper levels of the community. She quickly became a Top Curator, as well as one of the top mentors. She has personally been responsible for submitting over 200 post that have received a Curie upvote in her six months with Curie. It would take me too long to figure out how many others she has been indirectly responsible for through mentoring, and giving advice to many other curators who have come to trust her opinions.
She, two other Curie Top Curators, and I created c-squared a little over three months ago. It is a broader curation project focused on curating a larger portion of the blockchain populous. It can get some attention and upvotes to many posts that won't fit within the Curie guidelines.
She is the perfect spokesperson for curation on the platform. Without curation everything on the blockchain would fall apart. She works tirelessly on curation, and as she and many others have said, she is passionate about it. While at SteemFest she will be doing a great presentation on all facets of curation. Hopefully it will lead to more people realizing just how important it is, and share in her passion.
I know all the other contestants have a great reason for going, but I think it you really look at all of the reasons @llfarms is going you will see she is extremely deserving of the support of this contest - and of the many comments I have already read here.
In closing - did I mention she has also become a great friend in the past six months, and is an amazing person in general - I suspect that has been the case for much longer than six months.
Thanks for reading my ramblings,
