About Me

Originally from Wisconsin, I graduated from the University of Wisconsin, Madison with a BA in International Relations.  After graduation, I spent a year working in the UK and Ireland through the Work Abroad program. While in the UK, I worked at the library of Shearson, Lehman, Hutton, a financial services firm.  When I returned to the US, I went directly to Washington, D.C. While there, I worked in law libraries and eventually found a position at the library of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and worked there for 7 years.  My main responsibilities at USAID were reference and acquisitions. After that, I worked at the Peace Corps. The library was very small so my responsibilities involved almost all aspects of running the library.

Work

I started working at Gleeson Library in 2011 and currently work in the Metadata & Collection Management Department. I also work at the Reference Desk in Gleeson Library. Come see me Mondays 9-11!

Interests

My "go to" choice for books are science fiction and crime fiction with some horror just to mix it up. Also an avid gardener, I spend many hours trying to coax herbs and vegetables to grow in the foggy and cool coastal climate.
