CJ Woodford
I currently work full-time as a research officer for the Digital Research Alliance of Canada, supporting Canadian research computing, software, and data management. I also work part-time as the Education Coordinator for Discover the Universe, bringing astronomy education tools to classrooms in every corner of Canada. Towards building my knowledge of the data space, I am a part-time, online student in the University of Alberta Master's in Library and Information Studies program.
Previously, I worked in science communication, education, project management, and astrophysics research with a focus on high performance computing.
