The overarching goal of my work is to make collaborative research more accessible to all researchers so they can do more high-impact science. To achieve that goal, I design, develop, evaluate, and disseminate team-science trainings and interventions that help researchers spend more time doing science and less time managing the challenges of collaboration.  

As the Director of Team Science + Research Development at UW-Madison's Carbone Cancer Center and Institute for Clinical and Translational Research, I build infrastructure to support team science. Our Team Science Core delivers seminars and workshops, interventions like Collaboration Planning, and team coaching.   

I hold a PhD in Human Centered Design & Engineering from the University of Washington, where I worked with Prof. Charlotte Lee in the Computer Supported Collaboration Lab. I also hold a Master of Library and Information Science (MLIS) from the UW, and a Master of Public Health (MPH) from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. My post-doctoral research was conducted as a Cancer Prevention Fellow with the National Cancer Institute.
