Student Enrichment and Community Outreach Librarian
About
I began my position as Student Enrichment and Community Outreach Librarian in February, 2011. I am responsible for managing the Peer Information Counseling (PIC) Program, formalizing the Library’s relationship with the UM’s Detroit Center and with the Schools, Colleges, and community groups that use it, and coordinating the Library's K-12 partnerships with area schools.
PIC is the peer mentoring/counseling program intended to improve learning outcomes for minority students, and in general offer a successful research and learning experience for new or returning students.
Background
I returned to Michigan from the University of Arizona (UA) Libraries where I served as the Outreach and Instruction Librarian. While there I coordinated their PIC Program and managed LessonLink, a web portal that provides access to the UA’s K-12 resources for teachers. I also developed a variety of outreach, enrichment, and instruction programs.
I have a Master's degree from the UM School of Information, and received a BS from Northern Arizona University in Communications.
