Summary

My work as a Life Sciences Librarian primarily involves working with students, faculty/staff, and community members across the campus and greater community to help them access and utilize the best resources to advance their projects, research, and teaching. More specifically, I provide both individual research consultations and instructional sessions for courses offered within the life sciences disciplines across campus.

Prior to working in academic librarianship, I worked as a researcher in the tech industry (blockchain technology, Web3, identity management), as well as an English/Core Writing instructor in the University of Nevada, Reno Department of English.
