Background
Prior to coming to the University of Michigan, I obtained my B.A. from Creighton University, my M.A. in English from the University of Arizona, and my Ph.D. in English from UCLA. My current research examines the literary figuration of worms in the early eighteenth century.

Responsibilities
As the Librarian for Instruction and Engagement, I work with the Director and library staff to deepen the library’s engagement with the teaching, research, and community engagement mission of the university. This includes the oversight of our fellowship program for visiting scholars, the coordination of our instruction partnerships with faculty across the university, and the support of our collaborations with all academic classes, programs, and workshops. I also aim to enrich the quality of our inclusive and diverse teaching processes, ensuring that the Clements is a space where all are welcome and access to our materials is increasingly equitable and open.
