My name is Iris Arlanden. I'm a researcher, writer, and audiovisual producer from Charlotte, North Carolina.

Personal life[edit]

My name is L. Iris Arlanden and I was born in San Antonio, Texas, in the early 2000s. I’m half Canadian-American and primarily of German, English, Norwegian, Czech, and Armenian descent. I lived between San Antonio and New Braunfels early on and grew up between Plano and Denton. I moved to Monroe, North Carolina, in 2013. I’m nonbinary and go by they/them pronouns.

I currently work as a freelance historian and video producer. Wikipedia is just one of my projects involving history research.
