About me

• Scientist
• Enjoy designing and leading workshops
• Love connecting research ideas with everyday challenges
• Obsessed with note-taking apps
• Always curious, always learning something new

I work at the intersection of science, communication, and collaboration.

My current work centers on the cognitive compromises of the common shrew, a model species for studying brain size plasticity and behavior.

I combine research with hands-on leadership to build communities that empower learning and collaboration. I’m passionate about facilitating workshops, supporting digital collaboration, and I focus on making complex ideas accessible and connecting people across fields. You can see examples of this in my Talks & Workshops and Projects pages.

I am deeply involved in open science practices, and I aim to advance openness, transparency and reproducibility in my daily life as a researcher.

I believe openness is both a technical choice and cultural one, about how we share knowledge and invite others to build on it.

Here are a few highlights of my community impact so far:

• Elected representative during my PhD and postdoc, giving voice to peers across departments
• Leading the SORTEE code club and helping run the R-Ladies blog, nurturing inclusive spaces for data science
• Part of The Turing Way’s community management working group, shaping best practices for open collaboration
• Translator for the Raspberry Pi Foundation and code editor for PCI Ecology; helping global audiences access science and coding content
• Workshop leader for R programming and personal knowledge management, demystifying tools to help others level up

I’m always curious about new ways to connect people, ideas, and tools—and I genuinely enjoy helping others learn and grow.
