Data Architecture, Metadata, 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 data architecture, information governance, knowledge management, and the metadata, taxonomy, and ontology disciplines that sit beneath them. My work spans inclusive description and digital preservation on the archival side, and semantic layering, controlled vocabularies, and linked data on the enterprise side — and I am increasingly interested in the bridge between the two: how structured knowledge grounds trustworthy AI and retrieval‑augmented generation.
