People, data and mission. For me, those are the key motivators. I find great joy in participating in innovative collaborations that affect positive change in the world. This has led me to develop expertise in a variety of technologies and methodologies.

Team culture is very important to me. I’ve been a part of teams that have built successful commercial products as well as projects funded by the NIH, NSF and NEH.
