As the previous Assistant University Archivist and web archiving specialist, Emily has a background in digital archiving and data preservation. She was a key implementor in developing the Web Archiving Program in the Special Collections Research Center (SCRC), authoring technical manuals, policies, and procedures that established the program as a now essential part of the SCRC. She has presented this work internationally, and published articles advocating the value of web archiving to educational institutions.

As a computer nerd in medicine, my primary interest is in aiding others to push the boundaries of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare.
My current role is to assist the Director of the Center for Applied Artificial Intelligence with providing the resources and tools that medical researchers need to perform their best by leveraging advancing technologies in AI and computation in general.
In previous roles at UK, I oversaw the infrastructure used by the Center for Computational Sciences for 8 years and was a part of the Information Technology Services Network group for 3 years. Prior to coming to work at UK I was a Systems Integrator for the U.S. Department of State (DoS) and was responsible for upgrading the computer networks at U.S. Embassies and Consulates around the world as part of the Global IT Modernization project (GITM.) During the four years I was in that role I performed my duties in the following cities: Moscow, Baghdad, Ciudad Juarez, Budapest, Matamoros, Kolonia, Majuro, and lastly Kabul. Before working for DoS, I was in the U.S. Navy where I was trained as an Electronics Technician (ET) specializing in communications systems and later cross trained over as an Information Systems Technician (IT) before honorably finishing my 6-year commitment.
All those endeavors have been influenced and guided by a keen interest and deep affection, that I have held since I was 8 years old, towards all things that operate on zeros and ones.
