About
I help researchers document and organize spatial data submitted to the Data Repository for the University of Minnesota (DRUM), the Minnesota Geospatial Commons, and the Data Curation Network. I provide classroom support and consultations for spatial digital humanities topics in partnership with U-spatial. I am also part of the Big Ten Academic Alliance Geospatial Data Project, a multi-institution collaboration improving access to scanned historical maps and geospatial data resources.
