Your presence was one of few really good things I could remember about WMF. I hope you indeed stay an active volunteer wiki(p|m)edian and we can collaborate again. It was a pleasure :) --Base
Dear friends,
During the past three years, I have been privileged to be a part of this movement and this organization.
I have been honored to be your colleague and to work with you in service of the sum of all knowledge.
In particular, I wish to note particular projects that have inspired me very much.
- Working with Philippe Beautdette, Maggie Dennis, James Alexander, and
Jan Eisfeldt to keep our community safe from threats of harm. [1]
- Working with Patrick Earley, Nick Wilson, Erica Litrenta, Sherry
Snyder, Oliver Keyes, and James Forester on the rollout of VisualEditor. [2]
- Working with Yana Welinder and Heather Walls to design a user-friendly
trademark policy. [3] [4]
- Working with Siko Bouterse to support Individual Engagement Grants and
movement diversity. [5] [6]
- Working with Jake Orlowitz to promote the Wikipedia Library and the
Wikipedia Adventure. [7] [8]
- Working with Jaime Anstee, Edward Galvez, Amanda Bittaker to encourage
evaluation and learning. [9]
- Working with Asaf Bartov to encourage regional cooperation in Central
and Eastern Europe. [10]
- Working with Floor Koudijs. Tighe Flanagan, Kacie Harold, Samir
Elsharbaty, Rodney Dunican, Sage Ross, Jami Mathewson, and LiAnna Davis on the Wikipedia Education Program. [11]
The Wikipedia Education Program is especially near and dear to my heart. It is a means of educating readers, recruiting contributors, and creating quality content. Since 2014, the number of education initiatives around the world has increased by 36%. [12] [13] And 25% of all education programs are in one of the regions that I directly supported. [14] I am so proud of what they have accomplished. And I am enthusiastic about what great things they have yet to achieve.
I want to thank and compliment my current manager, Floor Koudijs. She is a competent, considerate, conscientious leader, and her diplomacy skills are unsurpassed. I am confident that the education team and the education program will continue to excel under her leadership. They are in the best hands.
I want to thank and compliment my hiring manager, Maggie Dennis. She had faith that, although I wasn’t an active community member, I could be taught to be a good community advocate. I am so proud that I proved her right. She taught me how to work in accordance with and to have the utmost respect for the wiki way. [15]
Wikipedia is a miracle, a monument to altruism. It is vital to the internet ecosystem, and it is vital to the education system. I hope that more young people especially will find their way to it and help out. And when they do, I hope that they are met with wise mentorship from veteran community members, just as I was.
I intend to remain a Wikipedian even after I am no longer a WMF staff member. And, with that promise, I’ll see you on the wikis. [16]
All the best, Anna Koval, M.Ed.

Thanks Anna,
It was great meeting you during Wikimania. All the best for your next venture. And glad that you'll remain a Wikimedian afterwards. Once a Wikimedian, always a Wikimedian! :)
best, Subha
