About me
- Educator and mentor
- Draw more than fits under "hobby"
- Enjoy designing and leading workshops
- Love connecting research ideas with everyday challenges
- Obsessed with note-taking apps
I trained as a researcher and now work in scientific marketing, in the medical device industry. I still teach, mentor, illustrate, and write about how people think and work.
My main research topic was the 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. 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.
