Hi there! I'm the library liaison for public policy, sexuality studies, sociology, women's & gender studies, the UNC LGBTQ Center and the Carolina Women's Center. I have been with the University Libraries at UNC-Chapel Hill since December 2014. Anti-racism and social justice guide my work as a librarian.

I have completed training for Green Zone, Haven, Mental Health First Aid, Racial Equity Institute, Safe Zone (standard, intersex, and gender identity & gender expression) and UndocuCarolina. I serve on the University Libraries' Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility (IDEA) Council.
