    Proposal Writer and empathetic listener Currently, my talents are focused on writing excellent proposals that match the requirements. Reading RFPs can sometimes mean reading between the lines to determine what the business or government agency really needs, rather than just answering what they say they want. My unique background in information sciences, public libraries, and sociology allows me to be an excellent community-builder. In research, academic, and technical environments, I add the human touch to data science teams, providing a more accurate reflection of needs and issues.
