About me

I was an adjunct English professor for 8 years before starting my transition to Librarianship. Now, I'm an early career Academic Librarian with a technical services position. I enjoy cataloging and working with metadata as well as my occasional liaison duties. I also have a special place in my heart for ILL, which is not part of my current duties, but I hope to work more with it in the future.
