About Me

I am the Head Librarian for the MU Zalk Veterinary Medical Library. I have been working in medical librarianship for over 10 years. I love to talk about how the academic library contributes to a student’s success. In my personal research I am helping to blur the lines between existing ADA laws & new DEI initiatives for neurodiverse academic professionals to facilitate open and healthy advocacy practices.
