Hello! My name is Giovanna Fontenelle. I'm a Journalist, Historian, and Educator. Since 2016, I'm also a Wikimedian.

I started to edit Wikipedia during an Education program and, in 2018, I became a Wikimedian in residence at the RIDC NeuroMat, through a São Paulo Research Foundation scholarship for Scientific Journalism.

With the scholarship, I also carried out activities for the Museu Paulista GLAM-Wiki initiative, also known as Museu do Ipiranga (or Museu Paulista da Universidade de São Paulo, Paulista Museum, or Ipiranga Museum).

I continued to work on the project for this museum and several other GLAM institutions as a member of the Wiki Movimento Brasil User Group (WMB) for some years. In 2020, I became the Projects Manager for WMB's professional team. With the account GFontenelle (WMB), I carried out activities, events, and projects, mainly with GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums) and Education.

At the end of 2020, I started to work as a Senior GLAM-Wiki Specialist at the Wikimedia Foundation. I'm currently a Program Officer, Culture and Heritage, for the Wikimedia Foundation. I work with the GFontenelle (WMF) account.

I also enjoy planning events to decrease the gender gap on Wikipedia and, in 2022, co-funded the WikiMulheres+ group.
