I have been involved in training in statistics and ocean data computing for most of my career. I am currently lead of
NMFS Open Science and in this role, I facilitate and run trainings in computing, data access and statistics for NOAA Fisheries. I am co-lead of the Inter-agency R User Group (federal agencies) and
NMFS Openscapes. Since 2020, I have helped Openscapes lead Open Science team trainings at NOAA Fisheries across all our science centers and involving 300+ staff. Since 2018, I have also been involved in teaching data science in India with the Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS) and International Training Centre for Operational Oceanography (ITCOocean). In September 2023, I taught a
course and hackweek at ITCOocean on using ocean remote-sensing data for fisheries management and research in the Indian Ocean and Bay of Bengal. I have been an organizer for many hackweeks including ICESat-2 HackWeek 2023, NASA Earth Data HackWeek 2024, OceanHackWeek 2023 & 2024, SnowEx HackWeek 2023 and PACE HackWeek 2024 and 2025.
