About me

I have a Bachelor of Music degree from JMU and studied Bassoon Performance and Music Industry. In the Music Library I train and supervise the student assistants, develop training for staff, manage circulation, provide library instruction and assist with music searching and research, and connect with patrons. I also manage “The little Gallery Underground” as well as the “After Hours in the Music Library” events.

About Academic Engagement

Academic Engagement is a new, public-facing division of the Libraries, under formation now. Departments include Library and Information Services, the Music Library, Research & Education Services, Digital Projects, and Special Collections. These latter two teams are coming together soon as the department of Digital Scholarship and Distinctive Collections.
