About Me
Hello! I'm the librarian for entrepreneurship, business, and economics. I partner with offices and programs across campus to raise awareness of library services for entrepreneurs, and to connect them to information and resources. I have been with the University Libraries at UNC-Chapel Hill since June 2018. I hold a M.S. in Library and Information Science from the University of Maryland, College Park, and a BA in Economics from Berry College.
I have completed training for Haven, Mental Health First Aid, and UndocuCarolina.
