I’m a native of St. Louis and an alumna of the School of Information and Library Science at Pratt Institute in New York.
My academic background can be broadly summed up as a meandering path through cultural history. Besides my MLS, I have a BA in history with minors in comparative literature and music and a BS in anthropology with coursework in historical archaeology and linguistics.
My current fascination is digital humanities and the new ways that computing can be used to expand our understanding of cultural heritage documents and objects. My go-to subject for research projects in LIS is music history and research for non-musician cultural researchers.
I’m a lifelong gamer (board, card, tabletop, computer) and amateur musician, a voracious reader and an enthusiastic fan of deeply goofy movies.
