About Me

Broadly speaking, I’m a librarian educator with subject specialties in the applied arts and sciences. If you are a student, instructor or researcher in an area of study housed in the College of Agriculture, Food, and Natural Resources or the College of Engineering, please make an appointment to find out how I can help you in your educational or career journey.


Grants/contracts/projects

  • 4-H Circulars Digitization Project. FY 2015. Project Ceres Cooperative Preservation and Digitization Stipend Program: $1,500 award. This was a competitive stipend awarded on the basis of my application to digitize the early and middle parts of Ellis Library’s collection of MU 4-H circulars, which began publication at the beginning of the twentieth century. This collection, available at https://mospace.umsystem.edu/xmlui/handle/10355/49330, is of historic value and is unique to the state and the university.
