Shannon Ricci

It is always so hard to find the time for professional development so when it finds you, it always so nice. This summer I had the opportunity to learn a lot from Shannon, Joddy, and Jo. Joddy and Jo did an excellent data visualization presentation that I learned a lot from. I was in attendance because my presentation was right after their presentation and it was such a happy accident to come away having learned a lot myself. After an email exchange tracking down some DVS data, I found out about some cool work Shannon and Joddy were doing with Google Apps scripts. This led to a very productive Zoom meeting that taught me a lot about Google Apps scripts that I hope to use to speed up my own data collection from emails. I so appreciate my DVS colleagues sharing their extensive expertise with me in these wonderful coincidental ways.
