About me
I serve as Associate Dean for Discovery, Access, and Technologies (DATech) at the JMU Libraries. Some of my current responsibilities include:
- Supervising and managing the following library departments: Access and Delivery, Interlibrary Loan and Course Reserves, Metadata Strategies, Resource Management, Scholarly Communications Strategies, and Technology.
- Coordinating with Library Administration and JMU Information Technology on projects involving the campus-wide implementation of technology systems and services.
- Participating in Dean’s Council, Library Leadership, Academic Software Review Committee, Online Learning Leadership Group, campus-wide Accessibility Committee, Faculty Assembly, Technology Coordinators, and other groups and committees as necessary.
I have worked for the JMU libraries in various technology capacities for almost 30 years. Outside of work I enjoy fishing, gardening, playing with and walking our three rescued border collies, hunting for and collecting wild (edible) mushrooms, and collecting wildlife pictures on trail cameras scattered about our farm. I am generally attracted to anything that involves nature, conservation, and the outdoors.
