What I'm looking for

I'm looking to continue building accessible collections, digital resources, research support, and information-literacy learning experiences while collaborating with libraries, educators, authors, and local communities.

I'm currently managing Blue Couch Bookshop, where I hire and train staff, coordinate author events and signings, track inventory and sales, and build community partnerships with local businesses and authors.

Previously, I facilitated information literacy and research instruction at Central Ohio Technical College and The Ohio State University. I oversaw 300+ research guides, supported Open Educational Resources and open-source software grants, maintained university and archival collections, and coordinated digital signage and library-system upgrades across two campuses.

My work spans collection curation, digitization, metadata, archival description, and resource development. I've also digitized local-history collections for Columbus Metropolitan Library and researched, wrote, and edited digital publications and datasets with the Law Library of Congress.
