Where do you work and what is your job title?
WestEd, Manager of Research Integrity
What is a favorite memory or instance you have working with ICPSR? What makes ICPSR a great place?
My favorite memory is probably when I shared out the summer program details with my colleagues, and got several immediate and super excited replies. My colleagues love improving their data approaches and fluency, and that makes me happy!
Where are you from?
I grew up in Fort Lauderdale, FL (flip flops forever!!!) and have lived in San Francisco, CA for almost 25 years.
What is your favorite part of working with ICPSR?
The people! They're always so friendly and supportive.
How long have you worked with ICPSR?
Our institution has been a member institution for the past few years.
What do you do when not at work?
When not at work, I'm hanging with my tween kiddo and husband, throwing a ball with our rescue dog, and (very slowly) learning how to machine sew. And ever since quarantine, I've been honing my green thumb. Plants don't scare me anymore!
What have you read/viewed/listened to/etc. recently?
Being a sci-fi/fantasy aficionado, I love stories that pull me in with rich worldbuilding. Tube-wise, I have been binging "Miracle Workers"!
