Hi – My name is Kristin, I’m a Research Scientist and Instructor here at UW. I have been thinking about, implementing, managing and teaching about data management for many years. On the Transportation Data Equity Initiative project, I focus on helping architect and implement the data system and communicating with stakeholders. I have been thinking about, implementing, managing and teaching about data management for a long time. I have years of experience in transportation data management, data science, and architecture of data management systems. In addition to working on the TDEI, I teach a course in data management. I believe in inclusivity and value all perspectives. My favorite words that were used to describe me are: “A data geek with a heart.”
