As the Data and Digital Scholarship Librarian, I work with students and faculty to tackle data-related questions. I can help you locate and evaluate datasets, (including government data and hard-to-find data), and navigate restricted datasets. If you are producing data as part of a project, I can help with data management, sharing your data, and preserving it after project completion. As part of the Data @ Reed Team, I can also connect you with the right supports for data analysis questions.

I am the co-liaison librarian for economics, math & stats, and computer science. I collaborate with students and faculty doing research in these subjects, and can work with you to improve research and citation management skills via classroom instruction and one-on-one consultation.
