About me

I am the Divisional Libraries Manager, which includes managing the Art, Architecture and Engineering Library, the Fine Arts Library, the Music Library, and the Taubman Health Sciences Library. In my role I oversee Operations staff in each library location, and provide support for our information service points, physical collections and patron services. It's important for me to advocate for staff in these locations so they are able to provide consistent and excellent services to our Michigan community.  

In addition to managing the Divisional Libraries I am the exhibits coordinator for the Hatcher Gallery and Hatcher North Lobby.  I schedule and support exhibits created by library colleagues, student groups, and campus partners, and assist with coordinating corresponding events.  

My educational background includes a Bachelor's degree from the University of Michigan in Communication Studies and Art History, and a Master's degree in Arts Management from Columbia College Chicago.  My work experience prior to the library was focused in customer service, retail management and sales.
