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

Scientific discovery is a social process: it depends as much on data as it does on the infrastructure used to share it.

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.

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 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.

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 and ideas.
