Hello!

Thanks for visiting! I’m currently a Senior Scientist at Fred Hutch Cancer Center studying genetics, ecology, and data science education.

I lead several education grant programs through National Institutes of Health, Including Data Science for Environmental Health, Genomic Education Modules (GEMs), and Biomedical Open Case Studies. I’m also deeply involved with the Genomic Data Science Community Network and the AnVIL, a cloud computing platform. At the core of my work is centering community while furthering data-intensive education and research.

In addition to my education related research, I study the evolutionary ecology and genomics of plants. Some of my work has focused on drought responses in prairie grasses and the evolution of weedy species in urban environments. Recently, I’ve been very involved in the BioDIGS Research Consortium, a program that organizes under-resourced institutions to better understand soil metagenomic biodiversity and ecological patterns across the USA.

I’m in the process of revamping my website, so things look a bit messy right now. Please check later for a more polished version :)
