I work at the intersection of community informatics, Earth science and non-profit management. Over the last 10 years, I’ve honed an eclectic skill set both technical and managerial, creating communities and programs with lasting impact around science, data, and technology.

I am passionate about fostering innovation through collaboration across diverse nodes. After serving as the Executive Director for the Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP) for the last six years, I co-founded Metadata Game Changers, with my husband, Ted. Metadata Game Changers is a boutique consultancy continuing to champion open science and good data management. In this position, I facilitate collaboration, build communities and coach Open science leaders, all to expedite progress toward data interoperability.

In my free time I love to be outside - mountain biking, hiking and skiing. I can also be found in the kitchen cooking with my partner, Ted and hosting dinner parties for our friends (whenever COVID ends).
