Using outdoor space at home as often as possible for work, exercise, and leisure is how I stay engaged with the world around me while sheltering in place. The sounds of spring make for a great soundtrack while helping to lead data science efforts for the DoD and VA’s Federal Electronic Health Record Modernization (FEHRM) Program Office. Meanwhile, nights filled with everything from virtual surprise birthday parties to virtual jam sessions are some of the many ways my friends and family are keeping spirits high.
