Summary
As Data Services Coordinator, I lead the Research Data Services team in supporting students, faculty, and staff across the full research data lifecycle: from data acquisition and processing to analysis, visualization, and archiving. I provide consultations and training in data literacy, research data management, reproducible workflows (primarily in R), and data wrangling across a wide range of disciplines.
With a background in quantitative and interdisciplinary science, I am able to support projects involving spatial analysis, GIS, and remote sensing, while applying these and other quantitative methods across diverse research domains.
In addition to consultations, I design and lead workshops, contribute to campus-wide research initiatives, and foster communities of practice around data and quantitative methods. I serve as graduate faculty in Ecology, Evolution, and Conservation Biology and in Geography.
