Hi there! I'm a Social Sciences Librarian. I have been with the University Libraries at UNC-Chapel Hill since December 2014, and I earned a Master of Science in Library Science, a Master of Social Work, and a BA in Sociology and Psychology with a concentration in Women’s Studies.

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