Biography

Prior to joining UCLA as the Librarian for English & History, I worked for a network of non-profits providing data support, including data entry, analysis, and visualization. I've worked in medical, academic, and public libraries, and have served in remote library roles, including working as a virtual reference librarian. 

I provide research consultations, instructional support (including instruction sessions, assignment design, and instructional consultations), and support for evidence synthesis, literature searching, and citation management (primarily in EndNote or Zotero). I'm interested in long-term, high quality partnerships with undergraduate and graduate students, staff, and faculty for both research and instructional projects.

MS in Library Science, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill

with graduate certificates in Interdisciplinary Health Communication & Interdisciplinary Health Disparities
School of Information & Library Science Diversity Advocate

BA in English, Virginia Tech (concentration in Literature & Language)

You can learn more about me from my website or CV.
