Biography
As Embedded Learning Librarian for CCIE, I am the point person at the library for the College of Community Innovation and Education and primary subject librarian for Teacher Education, Educational Leadership, and Counselor Education and School Psychology in a collaborative liaison model. I also support Learning Sciences, Legal Studies, Criminal Justice, and Public Administration in a secondary subject liaison role. I offer curriculum-integrated information literacy instruction, research consultations and collaborations, collection development, and textbook affordability support.
I’ve been a librarian and educator for 13 years with a research focus on online learning in information literacy, instructional effectiveness, and more recently, generative AI in information literacy instruction. My educational background includes a Master of Science in Library and Information Science from Syracuse University and a Master of Theological Studies from Harvard Divinity School.
