What I do at the library

I create materials that help students learn about complex research and library concepts. I coordinate the design and production of our instructional videos, tutorials, several research guides, and instructional tools for Canvas. I narrate and produce most of the library’s YouTube videos. I also help design content for the library’s website. I also help students with research papers and projects through email, chat, phone, text, and Canvas.

What I’m reading/listening to/watching right now

• Reading: The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman
and The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey
• Listening to: Late Night Tales by Trentemøller
• Watching: The Bridge, Bordertown, Dark, Fortitude, Trapped (anything Nordic Noir), Watchmen and The Great British Bake Off

Favorite “hidden library gem”

I like puns and titles that play with words so I’m a sucker for books like Here’s looking at Euclid: a surprising excursion through the astonishing world of math or articles like “Queer eyes and Wagnerian guys: homoeroticism in the art of the Third Reich“… it proves that scholars are totally “with it”…they’re just like us, right? And who could resist this title: Tracing Your Ancestors in Lunatic Asylums: A Guide for Family Historians?

Fun fact

I was born in Anchorage, Alaska.

Favorite animal

It’s a toss up between tardigrades and the mantis shrimp. If it’s aquatic and has superpowers, it’s for me!

What’s the most recent book you bought for the library?

The New Mutants: Superheroes and the Radical Imagination of American Comics
