April Carbonara

April Carbonara joined BNL in January 2021. April helps manage the NSLS-II Document Center SharePoint site, which is an online repository for the NSLS-II Controlled Documents. April works with the SMEs to assist with editing and routing their documents for approval through the SharePoint workflows. Since the Document Center site migrated to SharePoint 365, from the old site in March 2023, she often helps staff with navigating the newer site. To facilitate this, she's has created and continues developing short tutorials to assist staff with using the site, in collaboration with the NSLS-II Training staff. In addition to managing the controlled documents, she often assists staff with troubleshooting issues with using the site, with Teams to approve their documents and with learning features of this program. 

Outside of the Document Center duties, she occasionally helps with editing the NSLS-II scientific highlight articles and often is part of the science talk dry runs in preparation for the guest speaker presentations on the NSLS-II weekly All Hands meetings. She is available for occasional writing/editing projects within NSLS-II.
