I obtained my B.A. from Ouachita Baptist University in 2008, my M.L.S. from Texas Woman’s University in 2015, and my M.S. in Geographic Information Science from Northwest Missouri State University in 2024. Previously, I was the Curator of Maps and co-Curator of the Chapman Texas Collection at Cushing Memorial Library, Texas A&M University and the Scholarly Communication Librarian at the University of Arkansas – Fort Smith. I have written on the role of maps and spatial data in information literacy, popular culture in libraries, and bibliometrics.
