🤝 Coding Community of Practice Creator and Organizer

Oct 2023 - Present

I created a Coding Community of Practice within the Public Health Agency of Canada’s Modelling Hub to facilitate knowledge-sharing around scientific computing tools and infrastructure. We maintain a common documentation library for internally-available computing tools, as well as a best practices guide for scientific software development.

🤝 We Are R-Ladies Rotating Curator

Apr 2025

I was a rotating curator for the @weare.rladies.org BlueSky account. I capped off my curation week with a summary thread of the content I shared. Threads included computing and data science topics, such as:

• integrated development environments
• version control,
• code reproducibility, specifically using {targets} for pipelining analyses, {config} for defining environment- and context-specific code variables, and {renv} for virtual environment management,
• distinguishing between internal variables and data labels.
