I also work as the Technical Manager for the Global Burden of Animal Diseases (GBADs) Informatics theme, and have recently completed a Fellowship with the Datasphere Initiative.
My research explores the interoperability of metadata and data from heterogeneous sources. I am interested in exploring data infrastructure to improve and understand data quality and interoperability, specifically using graph databases to map between Open Data sources and identifying the insights that can be drawn using this tool.
My research is complimented by my interdisciplinary background developed through academic and professional work in biology, bioinformatics, machine learning, data science, and data governance. I hold a Master of Science in Bioinformatics and a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences from the University of Guelph.
I am currently funded by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) Canada Graduate Scholarship - Doctoral Program (CGS-D).
Outside of work I enjoy living an active healthy lifestyle! I spend most of my free time running, doing yoga, cooking, canoeing, or planning my next adventure.
