About Me
As Education Librarian, I design, deliver, and assess information literacy instruction. I have a strong passion for helping patrons at all skill and experience levels feel comfortable utilizing library resources and AI Tools. Please contact me if you would like to schedule an instructional session or receive help with your research!
Outside of work, I love to crochet, knit, read, write, and find new music and podcasts to listen to. I am a born and raised Missourian originally from the Greater St. Louis Area.
