Hi, I'm Michelle! Since 2018, I have used my blended background in humanities and technology to make historical and research collections publicly available to users across the globe with as few barriers to access as possible. I enjoy facing new challenges, learning new skills, and finding innovative solutions to digital library problems.

What drives me:

• system improvement: I identify friction points in workflows and thoughtfully develop practical solutions to address them, whether by automating repetitive manual tasks or rethinking the process itself
• open: I make historical and research collections publicly available for all

My specialty areas:

• digital collection and institutional repository management
• project management
• archival arrangement and description
• static site development (Jekyll, HTML/CSS, GitHub Pages)

Areas I'm actively exploring:

• command line proficiency (PowerShell, Bash)
• Python scripting
• digital preservation tools and best practices
