Data, Decisions, and the Stewardship of What Gets Found
I am an MLIS graduate of Simmons University (Archives & Digital Stewardship, conferred May 2026) bringing a decade of operations leadership into three closely related disciplines: data and business analytics; data architecture, information governance, and knowledge management; and metadata, ontology, and taxonomy. I have built KPI dashboards over a 2,200‑unit portfolio, led a Shopify‑to‑QuickBooks migration that recovered 40 hours per week, and screened 892 academic papers across 7 databases using PRISMA methodology — and I am increasingly interested in the bridge between structured business reporting and structured knowledge: how classification, governance, and the semantic layer ground trustworthy AI and retrieval‑augmented generation.
Three Tracks, One Toolkit
-
Data & Business Analytics
SQL, Python, advanced Excel, KPI dashboards, variance analysis, cohort and segmentation analysis, requirements gathering. Built reporting workflows for owners, HOA boards, and shareholders across a 140‑property / 2,200‑unit Appfolio portfolio; drove $500,000 in annual revenue at MindinMotion through channel and SKU analysis.
-
Data Architecture & Governance
Enterprise platform selection and full implementation. Defined data architecture, asset classification schemas, role‑based access controls, real‑time performance dashboards, and governance frameworks for senior stakeholders. Pairs operator‑side experience with formal MLIS training in information organization.
-
Metadata, Ontology & Taxonomy
Metadata schema design, controlled vocabularies, authority control, faceted classification, RDF / SKOS linked data, ISO 25964‑1, and Taxonomy Boot Camp London 2026. Hands-on with Dublin Core, CDWA-Lite, PREMIS, EAD3 / DACS, MODS, and the Library of Congress and Getty vocabularies.
Key Areas of Inquiry
- Business reporting, KPI design, and dashboards that survive contact with senior stakeholders
- Data architecture, information governance, and enterprise platform implementation
- Metadata schema design, controlled vocabularies, taxonomy and ontology design, and linked data (RDF, SKOS, ISO 25964‑1)
- Inclusive description & LGBTQ+ representation in finding aids and exhibits
- The semantic layer for retrieval‑augmented generation (RAG) and AI‑ready content
