Every time a student searches the web, a nurse updates patient records or a farmer checks the weather forecast, they generate data. Data curators use their deep understanding of data applications to help businesses, organizations and IT professionals establish common goals and utilize this data to accomplish them. With more sophisticated ways to leverage the huge amounts of information we create, data curators help us become more efficient, informed and productive.

"With agbioscience there's going to be challenges. There's going to be strategy. You're constantly using technology. There isn't a moment that goes by that I'm not using some type of platform like a mobile device or trying to find a way to get mobile into someone's hands. With different technologies that are coming out every day you have to learn it, you have to research it. It's exciting because you get up every day and you go, okay, what's going to be new today? What's going to be out there today that I didn't know about yesterday? So it's constantly changing. It's very exciting to be in the industry."
