She was tenacious in addressing issues and committed to a quality, effective, accessible, and user-friendly site.

Beyond her expertise, creativity, and organizing skills, she is great to work with every day. We had stand-up meetings every morning in the final months of the project; many were intense, as we addressed multiple details. She came to each of these meetings clear on her contribution, ready to help out others, and stepped up to do whatever was needed to get the project completed.

Her commitment to the site and her teammates really helped push each of us and supported us through the launch.

to a far greater extent than anyone else, keeping track of progress on various tasks and working to identify potential bottlenecks.

As the project has evolved, Josephine has helped to identify areas of need with respect to skills and labor hours, and has been instrumental in successfully recruiting new volunteers to fill these needs.

Josephine successfully builds rapport with teammates, taking the time to learn about their lives outside of the project and frequently checking to ensure that contributors are assigned tasks appropriate to the amount of time they are able to devote to the project.

Josephine has also done an excellent job of developing expertise on the data, including collection procedures, update schedules, data fields, and the relative strengths and weaknesses of each data source.

I appreciated her very detailed approach in managing all aspects of the project, and thoughtful diplomacy in accommodating different people at the same time.
