 and release candidates of ArchivesSpace since joining us in January 2017. She reviewed and worked on thousands of pull requests, moving the ArchivesSpace application forward with each one. She created opportunities for community members to contribute and improve
 ArchivesSpace via the Core Committers and one-on-one onboarding and mentoring. She made our technical community bigger and more diverse. We are very thankful for all of these accomplishments, but, in the end, it is her humor, her enthusiasm, and her dedication
