Teaching Interests
My focus is connecting people to information, and I strive to cultivate in others a deeper understanding of the world, a sense of self, and a greater empathy for others through the discovery of knowledge. As a practicing librarian, I aspire to foster this deeper understanding by selecting, organizing, and making accessible information in a variety of mediums.
