Feel free to make an appointment to meet with me! There are lots of reasons you might want to do so.  Together, we can...

• come up with search strategies
• determine which database(s) would be best for your search
• refine your research topic
• find and evaluate source material
• work through any troubling aspects of your research

If you'd like general overview of library resources, or even a refresher, please let me know.  I look forward to seeing you!

I'm the librarian for the History, International Relations, Political Science, and Critical Black Studies departments, as well as the Latin American Studies program.  I love teaching and meeting with students to talk about their research.  I'm particularly interested in the role that reflection plays in critical reading and information literacy. 

I attended Kenyon College, then moved to Buffalo New York, where I raised my three sons.  Along with cheering for the Buffalo Bills, I earned my MLS from SUNY Buffalo.  I've been with L&IT since 2008.

I love walking, reading, hiking, and going to art museums with my husband, as well as visiting family and friends.  I enjoy singing in the Susquehanna Valley Chorale, the Heart of Pennsyvania Women's Barbershop Chorus, and the Early Music Ensemble, a small group made up of Bucknell faculty, staff, students, and retirees.
