As a member of the International Studies team and liaison librarian to the Germanic Languages and Literatures department, I support research, teaching and learning for scholars and students in Germanic Languages and Literatures and Germanic Studies. This includes managing collections in these subjects, teaching subject-specific research methods, and providing research consultations.

I earned my M.S. in Library and Information Science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and my B.A. in French and German from Nazareth University in Rochester, NY. I taught English in northern Germany for two years through grants from Fulbright Germany and the Pädagogischer Austauschdienst. I have also spent time working in language services, museums, and a variety of public, private, university and research libraries, including the Library of Congress.
