Responsibilities
I have been with LSU Libraries as a librarian since 2015. I am the Agriculture Librarian and one of the liaisons to the College of Agriculture. I am also head of the LSU Library's Programming Committee, and I often meet with faculty and students to assist them with their evidence synthesis projects.
My job is to help people better identify and use resources and introduce and help develop information literacy skills. I love helping people overcome barriers to research. I would love to talk to classes, students, faculty, and/or staff about all the wonderful things LSU Libraries offers.
As the Events and Programming Librarian, I help facilitate library program creation, implementation, and promotion and build and maintain partnerships within LSU and the local community.

Hello! I help preserve the paper and book items at Hill Memorial Library. I create custom housing for unusual pieces which sometimes requires invention, and I stabilize fragile materials so that they can be handled by patrons or digitized. I offer training for proper handling techniques.
I also have a background in artists' books and printmaking.
