While getting my Masters at the University of North Carolina I held a number of internships at Duke University. My first year at Duke, I worked at the Lilly Library on East Campus, here I provided reference and instruction for the Duke’s freshmen population. My second year at Duke I worked in the reference department of Perkins/Bostock library answering reference questions and working on a number of smaller projects. I also worked in the electronic resources department on a clean up project for the library’s link resolver.

After graduating from UNC, I went to work for Ex Libris; first on the link resolver SFX, and eventually on the electronic resources management system Verde. My primary responsibility was ushering customers through the implementation process. In this role I provided implementation support and training for customers.

When I grew weary of travel, I took a job as a Systems Administrator at Wheaton College. Here I focus on administering systems for the library, archives, and academic technology. My work takes me from administering a learning management system (Moodle) to helping the college’s Records Manager create systems and workflows for archiving official college records.

To find out more about my work history please feel free to view my Curriculum Vitae. If you’re interested in my professional interests, my blog is a great place to start. Links to both can be found on the right hand side of the page.

While working at Gelman Library I met a nice man getting his PhD. He convinced me that I liked what I was doing, so I should keep doing it. I attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where I received my Masters in Library Science; although my main focus was in information science.
