IT Specialist
Cindy Girard

434-982-4547 |
Cindy is IATH's resident X-geek (XML, XSLT, XPath, Xquery - any X-initialed coding, really).
Her two children have long since outgrown her and are thrilled about it.
She's also working towards her second degree black belt in karate, so if you see bruises on her arms and legs, don't be alarmed - that's normal.
She enjoys playing games with her family and watching movies and will never forgive FOX for canceling Firefly. |

Digital Humanities Project Design/Manager
Susanna Klosko

434-924-6705 |
Susanna earned her PhD in Jewish History from Brandeis University in 2017.
Around that time, she grew to care about the ways technology could be harnessed to further the writing of "history from below".
Soon afterward, she discovered that she simply loved working with computers.
Susanna found her way to IATH, where through her role as project manager/designer she gets to spend her days helping scholars realize their visions.
She also enjoys developing Ruby on Rails applications and experimenting with file transformation scripts.
In her free time, when she's not staring at one screen or another, she likes to be outside, or spending time with her family and the many many animals in their lives. |

Joy Shifflette
jbs9q_at_virginia.edu
434-924-4527 |
Joy is the heart and soul of IATH and keeps everyone happy (she IS
in charge of payroll, after all). She is the only one who really knows
what's going on. She has the patience of a saint, until she's ticked off, and enjoys
practical jokes and cheese fries. |

Scholarly and Technical Communications Officer
Sarah Wells
spw4s_at_virginia.edu

Sarah has worked at IATH, on and off, since 1995. Her current job has
a variety of tasks, including project management, XML mark-up, and
technical writing. She also studies opera and has her black
belt in karate, so that what cannot be gained from logical persuasion
can be gained through hysterical sobbing or an intimidating glare. |

Keswick, a well-bred Virginia gentleman, a proud graduate of the rigorous Service Dogs of Virginia training program.
He was partnered with Robbie Bingler, and his duties included canine and small animal liaison services, 3D object retrieval,
real-time socialization routines and social networks, and visitor querying and investigation services.
He also demonstrated an unexpected facility for languages, having rapidly acquired an admirable grasp of Italian.
