I've never been able to settle into a single skillset or realm of knowledge, I have always yearned to learn new things and test myself in unique and challenging environments so that I may be a more broadly developed, well rounded individual. In my explorations I have found my greatest passion to develop myself in three areas; the various liberal arts & Information management and technology.While I currently find myself working well as a data officer and information management & technology specialist, work is certainly not my only passion. While swimming is how I get myself moving - I am a traveler at heart - exploring and wandering whenever I have the opportunity. When moments of leisure arise, fleeting as they are, I tend to read, write casually, or play various digital and tabletop games with friends.Specialties and Skills:Information Management: Boolean Logic, Excel Mastery, ThankQ & Salsify & similar management software packages, data & business analytics (statistical methodologies, querying, advanced data-mining tools, descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive techniques, etc.), cataloguing and advanced information organization in styles ranging from Dewey to ALSC, & digital curation (can perform every step of the digital preservation lifecycle).Business Research Design: Development techniques, design thinking, and demand-focused developmental research.
