Professional Biography

I am a Research and Scholarly Communication librarian and work with a team of librarians who support researcher activities through the researcher’s workflow. Before that I was a metadata librarian with primary responsibility for Western Libraries open access Institutional Repository, Scholarship@Western (S@W). As such, I fielded inquiries from faculty, staff, and students about the repository and promoted S@W programs and services.

I am keenly interested in digital curation and digital preservation, and I draw on my background in musicology and the humanities to support digital projects.
