Top SchoolHalle Burns is a Public Data Product and Research Manager with eight years’ experience designing metadata, ontologies, and data governance for academic and public-sector settings. Currently leading public data products at Harvard Law’s Library Innovation Lab and co-directing communications for the Data Rescue Project, she blends product ownership with hands-on schema design and stakeholder engagement. Her background includes building a campus-wide data services program at UNLV and acting as Product Owner for Princeton’s TigerData training, where she created metadata schemas, user journeys, and deployment playbooks.
