Currently in the role of the Research Data Management Specialist in the Office of Digital Innovation and Stewardship (ODIS) at the University of Arizona, I focus on supporting academic research in the areas of data management planning, research workflows, reproducibility, data and software curation, archiving and sharing, and open science. Formerly, I was a CLIR postdoctoral fellow in the Data Management Services group at Johns Hopkins University, investigating issues around software preservation to support research reproducibility and reuse. I've also been active in software development in academia and in industry where I've worked on projects in the areas of geographic information systems, groundwater modeling, and incident management. My current interests include research reproducibility and software preservation with the goals of improving research transparency, accessibility, and stewardship. I received my Ph.D. in Geography from the University at Buffalo, SUNY and my BS and MS in computational science from the University of Waterloo and Florida State University respectively.
