An employee of UO Libraries since 2000, I manage the day-to-day operations in Knight Library’s Audio & Video Room and provide specialized reference assistance in the area of music. As a member of the Lending Services unit, I help train student assistants and permanent employees, and maintain some of the library’s public web pages.

During my 17 years of employment at the University of Oregon, I have served on numerous library committees; I also served on the UO’s Committee on Sexual and Gender Based violence. I take a strong interest in a wide range of university-wide issues. I have attended numerous UO Senate meetings as an observer, and regularly read the Senate minutes. When appropriate, I have reached out to the classified staff senators to ask questions, share concerns and suggest actions. If elected or appointed to a committee to the UO Senate, I pledge to be proactive in dialoging with classified staff members throughout the UO community.

Before joining the staff of UO, I earned a graduate degree in music at the University of Oregon. I also serve as a part-time instructor (NTTF) in the School of Music & Dance.
