What I do at the library

I oversee the design and production of our instructional videos and tutorials – I narrate all our YouTube videos and try to make the library experience as visually appealing as possible. I help manage and design the website, create research guides, purchase interdisciplinary (and enticing) books and ebooks, and help students with research papers and projects by answering questions through email, chat, phone, text and as a class librarian. I’m also the librarian who is most likely to use (overuse?) the smiley face emoji on chat.

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

• Reading: The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman
• Listening to: By the Way, I Forgive You by Brandi Carlile
• Watching: The Bridge, Bordertown, Trapped (anything Nordic Noir), Westworld and Nailed It!

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 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?

Fun fact

I was born in Anchorage, Alaska.

Favorite animal

I liked the mantis shrimp before they were cool. They see more colors than we can even imagine!

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

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