I work collaboratively with colleagues to advise on, plan, and execute the creation or transformation of metadata in support of Library and University projects. I also provide Metadata Consultation Services and am available to consult with members of the U-M community on:

• Making recommendations on metadata strategies based on project requirements.
• Recommending workflows, standards, and tools for metadata creation and capture.
• Assisting in the development of data models that support discovery, interoperability, and reuse.
• Assisting in the development of transformation strategies for existing metadata.

For resources on metadata and data documentation for the research community, please visit my guide to Metadata and Data Documentation.

I received a Master's degree in Library Science (with a specialization in Digital Libraries) from Indiana University. Prior to that, I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in History from the University of Wisconsin. I have previously worked at the University of Miami.
