Professional Community Leadership

Community and institute leadership

• Director of Strategy and Advancement and PI, RIOS Institute, 2019 - current, rebranding ongoing from SCORE Network, formed in 2019 as lead PI. This virtual institute is housed at Bates, but founded to support a national network of organizations, education researchers, and professional staff that support higher education instructors to make changes in their projects oriented towards social justice. I oversee 2 additional Directors, 2 Fellows, 2 Advisors, 1 full-time staff, 2 student advisors, and 2 significantly involved contractors, manage budgets, facilitate leadership meetings and retreats. The broader center work also employs additional staff and students at other sites, professional development series, and working groups
• Lead organizer, “Summer research program: Social Justice and Data Science: Networks, Policy and Education,” Institute for Computational and Experimental Research in Mathematics (ICERM), Brown University, Summer 2022 and 2023 Link to Summer 22. As a traditional semester research program I coordinated a research program for over two dozen scholars from early career to full professor and industry-employed, the organizing committee offered three project-based workshops (network science, policy, and education), and we coordinated multiple outreach events and publishing opportunities. Unlike a traditional semester program at a mathematics institute, this was offered over two summers to allow more diverse participation. Also secured co-sponsorship from AMS.
• Lead organizer, “Research Collaboration Working Group: Interdisciplinary and critical data science motivated by social justice,” Institute for Mathematical and Statistical Innovation (IMSI),University of Chicago, January - February, 2023. Led and co-organized with Jude Higdon of QSIDE Institute, a month-long collaborative research group with over a dozen researchers from early career to full professor and industry-employed. Two major research projects were accelerated, both of which were grounded in local community activism. Also secured co-sponsorship from AMS.
• Director of Partnerships and Communication, QUBES, 2014 - 2021. Virtual Center to support instructor development for teaching quantitative biology, co-founded in 2014. As a leadership team we developed both the cyberinfrastructure and social infrastructure to achieve a sustainable community of practitioners, open educational resources, and professional development. My role initially was in partnership building the QUBES Consortium, and managing communications. Later work transitioned much of the work to staff roles, and my focus shifted to diversifying our funding portfolio for sustainability and special projects which focused on equity and inclusion in data science. Management of QUBES successfully transitioned to BioQUEST in August 2021 at the conclusion of primary NSF support.
• Lead Project Manager, “Math Mamas” - A digital narrative project coordinating three partnership projects: 1) NSF INCLUDES Collaboration/In-kind support with AWM on their www.womendomath.org site to provide profiles of women mathematicians who are also mothers (led by Dr. Hall). 2) A Special Issue of the Journal of Humanistic Mathematics (led by Dr. Harris) and 3) a blog with for AMS (led by Dr. Davie Lawrence - who continues to lead other current ongoing Math Mamas initiatives), 2016 - 2019
