I obtained a BA in Linguistics at Brown University and an MS in Library Science at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I lead a multi-institutional team providing information access and services to students, faculty, and staff of the University of Arizona College of Medicine in Phoenix and Northern Arizona University allied health programs at the Phoenix Biomedical Campus. My duties include instructional outreach to the academic communities of both institutions, day-to-day management of library operations, and coordination with Health Sciences Library Tucson, the University of Arizona Main Library, the Cline Library of Northern Arizona University, and other regional libraries, organizations, and agencies. My national conference presentations have focused on remote user authentication and support, as well as electronic reserves.
