I am an archivist, special collections librarian, and curator with over twenty years of experience, specializing in exhibition development, leadership, project management, public services, public programming, and outreach in special collections libraries and archives. I am particularly interested in the intersectionality of cultural heritage resources, community engagement, and experiential learning using exhibition work as a tool and a mechanism for creative and intellectual expression. 

With a broad range of research and writing interests around special collections librarianship, as well as on historical, and cultural topics, I am drawn to better understanding the human experience as reflected in archives, and finding ways to connect users to archival resources in innovative and meaningful ways. 

I also draw, write, stitch, speak French, cook, try to play the sax and the harmonica, among other things.
