About me

• Educator and mentor
• Enjoy designing and leading workshops
• Love connecting research ideas with everyday challenges
• Obsessed with note-taking apps

My work exists at the intersection of research, technical infrastructure, and community leadership.

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

What I Do

I lead community initiatives that transform Open Science from a policy requirement into a practical workflow. This involves building the technical systems and professional networks necessary for digital collaboration. I love teaching, facilitating workshops, 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.

Practicing Open Science is both a technical choice and a cultural one. I am committed to advancing transparency and reproducibility, ensuring data is not just “available” but actually usable.
