  summary: 'I am looking for a project team to join. I am a post-doc at the Fred Hutch Cancer Center (https://kweav.github.io/) where much of my work is devoted to creating training materials for scientists and trainees to make informatics more accessible. I contribute to major training projects including the Informatics Technology for Cancer Research (ITCR) Training Network (ITN, https://www.itcrtraining.org), Open Case Studies, https://www.opencasestudies.org/)  and the AnVIL project (https://anvilproject.org). In this capacity, I have supported or led around 25 workshops with interactive activities about working with cancer data; in addition, I have assisted in editing courses on reproducibility practices and choosing appropriate genomics tools, have provided feedback to others developing training materials for the cancer research community, and am developing course materials for trainees on effective data visualization practices and considerations when working with clinical cancer data. I am co-advised by Jeff Leek, Carrie Wright, and Ava Hoffman – all respected experts with years of experience in developing and delivering effective training. My background is both in wet lab research as well as mathematics/computational biology. My graduate work was in a functional genomics and population genetics lab, and in grad school I was extensively involved in creating educational materials for those new to programming or algorithmic thinking and connecting such concepts to biology research. I can offer experience in thinking across fields of study and developing effective training materials, particularly for online courses or in person workshop settings. I am also involved in the development and maintenance of tools related to training material dissemination (https://www.ottrproject.org/).'
